but maybe somebody knows
Do you know a way to know which mini pci-e laptop wifi cards models are supported by a laptop?
Model: Acer aspire 4738 7780
I can't find anything on google about it, it's a pretty old computer
It has an AR5B97 currently, but it's really buggy, sometimes it shows no wifi networks or throws BSOD out of nowhere
Any, unless the UEFI has a blacklist/whitelist. Don't recall Acer having one.
But is there a limitation? like WIFI6 or something?
Yes, a black/white list would be a limitation. Also the connector, obviously.
how would blacklisting of PCIe devices work from the firmware? as far as I know, linux manages the PCIe host controller and does the PCIe enumeration
It doesn't boot in the first place.
