Winflash "flash bios is not an upgrade" issue; Lenovo W520

[apacha]

I'm game.  I'll report back soon ...

Created the boot disk and replaced the included BIOS.WPH with my file and renamed to BIOS.WPH.

Booted up and began flashing.  Seems to have completed without incident.  Unfortunately, I can't really tell from the BIOS screen or within setup if the modded version applied.  It's the same version and there's no distinguishing features compared to stock. 

I went ahead and renamed the 1.46 modded file to BIOS.WPH and flashed again.  BIOS is showing 1.46 now.  Until I can test a newer Wifi card, I'll assume the whitelist has been removed and I'm good to go.

Thank you greatly for your help here.

Yes. Only the WL is disabled, and this patch applied.
