Well, what I read on that forum, it looks as HP is using it as excuse, 
and that they don't have any intention of whitelisting anything without 
HP label on it.  If that happened to me, I'd just return entire laptop 
to where I bought it.  And I'd look for something with no BIOS restrictions.

Anyhow, if you are in hacking mood, you can always download a BIOS and 
use hex editor to whitelist your card.  Of course, I'm not responsible 
if you don't know how to use hex editor and render your laptop unusable 
;-).  If it works, put instructions somewhere on the web for other's to use.
