[REQUEST] Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E420 & E520 (8HETxxWW) Whitelist removal

[primavera]

- Manufacturer: Lenovo
- Model: ThinkPad Edge E420
- Part Number: 1141-RU8
- Bios Version : 1.16
- Bios Download Link: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/...uj04us.exe
-Card to be added : Intel Centrino Ultimate N 6300

Hello,

I recently bought Intel Centrino Ultimate N 6300 for my Thinkpad Edge E420.

However, when I installed the product, I came across this error message.

1802 : Unauthorized network card is plugged in - Power off and remove the miniPCI network card (8086/4238/8086/1111)

I found a whitelist removed bios here but my laptop's bios version is higher, so I can't update it.

Therefore, I request it again for the newest version of the bios. I will really appreciate it.

Thanks again in advance.

I hope for your good that this one is not one of the deleted bioses due to no feedback because that bios are condemned and will not mod them again. I do my piece of the work and want others to do theirs.

Said this it's added to my schedule

[camiloml]

You were lucky, that one was not one of the deleted

Download non whitelisted bios in my second folder. Read my signature, come back and give feedback please

Any chance the newer version of the bios could be modded as well? The original can be found at the same link.

Nothing?

For what it's worth, the newest bios can be found here:

Very much appreciated Better late than never...

I'll be able to give some feedback in about a week. I'm flying home for the holidays, and my new E520's waiting for me there And i wanna stick this Dell Wireless 1510 in it, that i have in my current laptop (for OSX compatibility reasons).

[KhronX]

Slight delay, but i'm really glad to report 100% success!

The Dell Wireless 1510 card worked / works without a hitch. Thanks a million, camiloml!

Will you hate me in case i'll come back when there's some new BIOS update?

Happy Holidays!

If it has some good fixes from manufacturer then no prob, just "to have latest" better don't

I would like to change my WLAN card to one that is not whitelisted and plan on installing a non-whitelisted WWAN card later on.

I would greatly appreciate if you would remove the whitelist from the following:

Model: Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E520
Bios revision: 1.22
Bios ID: 8HET40WW
Link: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/...uj10us.exe
Current PCI ID: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0084&SUBSYS_13158086&REV_00

I know that whitelist has been removed from the 1.16 version of this bios here:
http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-re...-Edge-E520
I benefit from some of the fixes since 1.16, so I hope you will remove the whitelist from this newer version.

Kind regards,
Rasmus
