Otherwise it's pretty hopeless. As soon as the BIOS detects a non-whitelisted card it will halt with an error. The BIOS is RSA protected meaning it's near-on impossible to modify the whitelist. The experts have long ago given up on trying with the Sandy Bridge Elitebooks because of this.

Solution? [...] Otherwise consider hosting the AC7260 on your 8760W externally via some sort of expresscard-to-mPCIe adapter. [...].

1- Just to make sure, it means that nobody succeeded making a custom bios for the 8760w?

2- What do you mean by "some sort of expresscard-to-mPCI2 adapter ?

Thanks again,

Hello.

I'm new here, on this forum.

Recently I wanted to install the wireless card Intel AC 7260 in my computer...

At first I was "naive" and thought it would be easy but, "thanks" to the whitelists, it was quite hard, almost impossible for me.

I have a :

• HP EliteBook 8760w.
  

• Bios: 68SAD Ver. F.40
  
• CPU: i7-2820QM
  

Is there something I can do to override the limitation related to the installation of the AC7260 wireless card despite the efforts of HP to prevent me from doing it?

Thanks,

GH
