I have a Acer netbook sitting around, and I'm going to upgrade the card, however, I don't know if Acer uses a whitelist. Does Acer use a whitelist? If so, how can I tell if my WiFi card I'm going to install is on it?

You should include the model ID of the wireless card in the post in case somebody can confirm it. – parashep – 2013-08-20T02:32:11.890
@parashep it is http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007QXLIWI/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/183-2705949-5988751?ref_=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t

@parashep No, there are half to full adapters that you can buy for $3: http://compare.ebay.com/like/180646686696?var=lv%3Cyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar

@parashep Thanks for looking. I couldn't find one for any Acer model, but no one explicitly said that there was or wasn't one. I guess that it would be wider known if there was one, and Acer would post it. If I do try it, I'll post if it works. – Anonymous Penguin – 2013-08-21T22:46:33.733
