Does my laptop have a Wi-Fi whitelist?

[treeshateorcs]

I need to replace the Wi-Fi card, because my Bluetooth just died. It's not visible on Windows nor Linux (it's a mediatek mt7922)

If i replace it with an intel ax210 or be200, will it work? It's an AMD based laptop, if that matters

HP does not release any information regarding what model notebooks have BIOS whitelists.

Chapter 3 of the service manual shows that HP only offered two model wifi adapters in the model series.

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

The Intel BE200 is all but guaranteed not to work in an AMD notebook.

Intel has a new driver for Wi-Fi 7 adapters but they may still not work on AMD systems — Intel BE200...

The AX210...probably 90% chance against working.

If you want to experiment with an Intel card, try this one which HP installed from the factory in my HP x360 15-ee0047nr notebook that has an AMD Ryzen 5 4500U processor.
