Workaround?

+

+ It's possible on coreboot systems to permanently disable (break) hardware, by modifying the devicetree accordingly. + The devicetree is a part of the coreboot source for any system, that defines which hardware exists in the system. + There are usually other ways too. +

+ + TODO for the libreboot project: *break* the onboard wifi chip, by patching coreboot-libre to render + the built-in WiFi unusable. This will lessen the temptation for users to use it. + +
