HI again to all!

I installed a non HP WWAN card, bought from ebay ($15) and works great.

Just for your info, if anyone interested...

I bought this one.

I bought a HS2340 for travels in the UK. Works great, and super cheap. About $15 USD. You run the risk of the hardware ID being not on the whitelist if you don't buy one that says "HP" in the description. If you want something cheap, go with this one if you're in the UK:

Ericsson F5521GW HP HS2340 HSPA 21Mbps WWAN Card 632155 001 | eBay

looks like 13 quid shipped within the UK.

Sorry for late response, but the HS2340 you bought, is HP branded or something else. As you think I don't want to spend more than $20 for a WWAN card.

I am looking for a non HP but Ericsson card.

Thanks

I decompressed the F.42 2570P bios using PhoenixTool finding a reasonable number of WWAN, WIFI and Bluetooth adapters shown below. This is as found in the BIOS except I filled in the bits in the brackets [] based on a Google search.

Above: HP 2570P F.42 BIOS WIFI, WWAN and Bluetooth whitelist

Unfortunately nobody has as yet successfully created a modified unwhitelisted bios, REF: bios-mods.com even after many requests for one. This is due to HP applying RSA protection.

<strike>So if you need a better card then consider a USB external one. Only *workable* solution that would allow newer/faster wifi (eg: 802.1ac) would be to get BPlus to manufacturer an interposer ribbon for installation between the systemboard and wifi card. That would delay PCI assertion so the BIOS wouldn't halt with "detected an unsupported card - remove it" , effectively behaving as if plugged the wifi card in after bios boot. Then need DIY eGPU Setup 1.x or ACPI/DSDT hacks to enable the whitelisted port as discussed in [ALL ProBooks/Laptops in General] Our WiFi WhiteListing Days Are 0v3r!</strike>

Good news!! The wifi whitelisting is either broken or disabled as a generous easter egg by the bios programmer. See Reports of non-whitelisted Intel wifi working

Hi to all,

New to this forum. I have bought a used 2570p and I was trying to figure out if I can install a cheap WWAN module from ebay on this laptop, according to quoted text.

Any help woulb be appreciated, since I do not have previous experience with WWAN, whitelists, locked etc .....

So, should I buy this card or it won't work at all? My BIOS is F.61

Thanks again
