Hello guys!
Today I got a Lenovo G570 as a spare laptop. I own for an HP ProBook 4530s, so I transfered some of the parts from my Lenovo to My HP and ran into problems. It appears that the HP has the whitelist in its BIOS, thus disabling the WiFi card automatically. Lenovo uses the Atheros ar5b95 card with a ar9285 wifi.
Now, I saw few tutorials on trying to rebrand the ar928x cards, and there thay said that ar9285 cards should be whitelisted, in other words it should work with probook 45x0 series, so i dont know where is the catch? If anyone has some experience with this and could help me?
P.S. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/rebranding-the-atheros-928x-cards-the-guide.115110/
In this guide they are trying to rebrand the ar9280 card to ar9285 card which i originally have, so it could work with HP ProBook series 45x0s which i also originally have! Also I know that i could just buy another card on ebay for cheap, but where is the fun in that?
