this laptop does not have built in Wifi & Bluetooth

You can acquire the Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 (QCNFA222) Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modem very cheaply from eBay or other online marketplaces, usually costing around $15 USD or so. If you want a guide for removing URL parameters on eBay for guest checkout, among other websites, I have written one for the Purism community forums:

I have fully confirmed that these uBlock Origin static filter rules work with eBay’s guest checkout. For reference, here are all of the static filter rules from this thread I currently use:

*$removeparam=/^mtm_/
*$removeparam=/^utm_/
||ebay.*^$removeparam=~/(_dmd|_nkw|_pgn|_sop|_ssn|action|blrs|cartid|guestCheckoutEligible|ipg|item|itemId|itemid|LH_|sessionid|srt|token|transId|transid)/
||ebay.*^$removeparam=hash

A month ago my brother tried updating the BIOS to the latest version but that did not solve the issue so he changed it back.

The boot firmware is the latest version and was not downgraded:

@librumroger

Brand coreboot
Version 24.02.01-Purism-1

You should be seeing a boot splash screen displaying “Librem 15” in very big white font as the board name.
