Hello Rajib, Please can you reduce the size of your subject line. You can make it much shorter and still informative. > I desire a Debian approved list for perfectly compatible > Wireless-Bluetooth Cards.

There is a list of cards that people have found to work but, as noted, HP maintain an allowlist/denylist of cards that *they* approve. > Why do I need to return to this thread?

You may find also that people have had varying experiences with their Framework - there's a very long post on Debian Planet somewhere with a whole list of plusses and minuses.
