![]() ![]() What WiFi cards are in the BIOS's "whitelist" for my model, Lenovo Yoga 500-14ACL laptop, Machine Type Model: 80NA002MMX ? ![]() They told me that all they could do is to contact Lenovo directly by mail, so they recommended I did that myself, in which this forum post is all about. I came from the store I bought the pc today, and the techicians there were very surpised that Lenovo in fact had such a list in their BIOS, and they were not aware about it until I informed them. I see many users has purchased cards previously without being aware that Lenovo reject certain cards, and that is exactly what many users report, the card is rejected by the BIOS, and the users are left with a card they can not use.īefore I order a new WiFi card, I want to make sure the card I order is compatible in my laptop. I have searched online, but I cannot find a list containing compatible cards. Now my only chance is to purchase a new WiFi card compatible with Linux distros ( not a USB WiFi plug), so my question is, where is that "whitelist" which Lenovo has implemented into the BIOS online? I tried as a last resort to use a program called "ndiswrapper" to install the windows driver in my Linux distro with the help from Linux professionals, sadly it did not work. My only problem is, the WiFi does not work, as there are no drivers available for this card on Linux systems. I got a 2-3 year old Lenovo Yoga 500-14ACL laptop, Machine Type Model: 80NA002MMX, with the newest BIOS firmware from Lenovo, in which I got a Linux distro installed to a partition. ![]()
