So, my installation is working well and I decided to replace my wifi chip to Yosemite compatible one. I've read some threads about it, and I found out about HP Bios whitelists. Are these still implemented in the newer HP laptops ? I'm wondering if there's someone here who has some experience with that ? Which chip do you recommend ?

Many HP laptops still have a whitelist. The only way to find out is to replace the card and see what happens. You should refer to your service manual for a list of acceptable cards. Perhaps there is one that overlaps with OS X compatible ones: http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/104850-guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.html
