As I read on the git hub Skulls page. There is an individual who bricked his Lenovo X230 with trying to install CoreBoot. and can not reinstall his back up of his original BIOS/EFI. Not a lot of advice on that board.
Day before yesterday I put a spinning hard drive into my X230 to experiment with. For any of you not familiar with the physical layout of an X230, replacing the drive is super easy. One screw removes the plate covering drive. Drive slides out, has soft rubber slides that pop off either side of drive. Put them on replacement drive. Slide it in. Put side plate on. Tighten down screw. I experimented by installing the Pure OS. I have an iPhone, on which I am typing this, which has unlimited data. And came with a gift of ten GBs HotSpot. I plugged the cable between the iPhone and X230 pure USB port to use data. Pure is like Debian in that it is FOSS and does not have driver for the already installed Intel Wireless. I spent several hours trying to get a Real Tek USB WiFi to install. Didn’t work for me. So I installed QUBES onto the spinning drive. Works. Point of all this being. If I could keep the Intel Management Engine from from phoning home. And use the Wireless of my choice. I might not itch so much to install Core Boot Skulls. I know that Qubes will let me see connections with a wireless dongle. Maybe I should just disable driver for Intel WiFi, and just toddle along. I am guessing that would be in the Xen Hypervisor. So my question is how do I disable the Intel WiFi driver. Might easier to just open back of computer and remove chip. Maybe the Intel Whitelist of WiFi is just a hoax. I should just try the Atheros chip. Probably lead to two hours of re installing QUBES. Any thoughts? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
