Hi there!
So I got myself a
Lenovo X230 with integrated mPCIe Intel WiFi and ordered an
Atheros AR9280 card.
As I realized the whitelist-Problem, I followed this guide which is intended for AR9285 and describes how to rebrand AR9285 to Intel in favor of bypassing the whitelist:
https://github.com/nouatzi/AR9285-rebranding
Unfortunately, in my case, the AR9280 PCI_ID (8C16:2A00) only occurs once in the EEPROM dump (There is one quite similar block: 8C162900) but I don't think it's safe to overwrite. When I try to flash eeprom, there is no change in detection.
Followed the guide 1:1. So does anybody know, whether there are some AR9280-specific differences?
Please find the Screenshots attached.
Thanks in advance!
Best, Phil
