Beschreibung:
Wifi card whitelist

All thinkpads have a Wifi card whitelist at the BIOS level that prevent installing certain WiFi cards. The restriction can be bypassed with a BIOS modification: either installing Libreboot, Coreboot or editing the official Lenovo/IBM BIOS.

Lenovo uses a bios whitelist to prevent the installing of 3rd party wifi and 3G cards in the mini-pcie slot. The processor has vPro technology. The internal wifi card is an Intel Centrino and does not work with any distribution that I have tried. Gnewsense had several problems and Blag was unable to see the Ethernet card and would demote this laptop to a D if they were the only distros that I had tried. Other distros seemed to work normally. For this laptop, Trisquel works well. Parabola seems like a good choice if I had the time, and it seems like Dynebolic is also fully functional.
