Oops, forgot to change my previous message to text...

I have had a lot of experience with Linux on laptops, and have had 
similar issues. Most, if not all, Linux distributions now support secure 
boot in UEFI systems. The problem is when the BIOS manufacturer cheats 
and only supports Windows and ignores all other operating systems - 
which is common. If a current distro (in the last year or so) does not 
support UEFI, or if it does but will not boot, then you MUST turn off 
UEFI/Secure Boot in the BIOS.

I have already, hopefully, helped Joe.

TW, I would suggest reading all the documentation at libreboot's site as 
it contains info about your wifi card and EC firmware. Be sure to read 
this BEFORE flashing! As well, don't be afraid to follow the IRC link if 
you have any questions or need support for this BIOS - remember to read 
and follow the forum rules. If you have any other questions, please feel 
free to contact me directly.

-Joel
