Hi there,

I would like to install a Intel 7260 into my Lenovo Z500.
The current WiFI Adapter is a Qualcom Atheros AR9485WB-EG.

The original bios:

Could someone please remove the whitelist.

Many thanks.

Major edit:

Everything I said before about any sort of bluetooth whitelists is false. I got bluetooth to work by covering with a piece of electrical tape pin 51 on the wireless card itself (Intel 7260 with BT). It turns out that my laptop was turning off bluetooth on boot up. From looking at other people who bought this card this is a common issue on a lot of other laptops even without any whitelist. All pin 51 does is control the hardware switch to turn it on or off. Pin 51 is if you're looking at the WiFi card from the front like this http://images10.newegg.com/productimage/...191-02.jpg (This is the stock image from Newegg) its the very last pin on the right.

I'd like to thank this site and its members for all the help with the bios mod otherwise the "Unsupported wireless card" message would still be displayed.

Although the bluetooth functionality was solve by taping pin 51 of the Intel AC7260 wifi card I am still trying to find an answer why placing back the original card will cause the bluetooth to act intermittently. Could you try the test by placing the original card back and see if bluetooth does not act as described earlier?

Thanks in advance.

I have a feeling it has to do with the whitelist removal. The original card might need that whitelist enabled (aka stock) to fully work. I attempted to use the original wifi card in my other laptop and only bluetooth worked. No matter what I did I could not get wifi to install correctly although my laptop did recognize the wifi part but would give me a code 10 meaning "This device cannot start" error.

My idea of the whitelist restriction removal is that you can use any wifi card (which will of course fit the mini pcie slot) and this includes the original list. So why is it that the orignal card's bluetooth feature does not work? We simply cannot separate the bluetooth and the wifi since they are package into one (unlike in the past).

Maybe you need to confirm that you don't care about the bluetooth problem as discussed in this link.

Nope. They are specific to the owners. You just have to wait for the modder to mod your bios.
