Picked up a T430s for next to nothing, and I wanted to throw an AC wifi card in it. Can't seem to find a whitelisted BIOS though. I know you have to hardware flash it, that's no problem for me, just need the actual image. How do I go about making one?

I am on Linux but if I need windows I can install it.
And this is why I don't bother with Lenovo, this shit

IIRC newer ones don't have whitelists

OP, I had this with one of my 2011-era Lenovos. I was able to find a patched BIOS online as well as a guide of how to do it.. better bust out the hex editor. If I recall, I had to install Windows to use the OEM flash utility. Try googling your BIOS version. Good luck.

Yeah, I've done a few xx20 and prior thinkpads but the xx30's are more secure and patches are less common. There's jack shit out there as far as premade stuff, I think it has to be tailored to your specific computer. I'll figure something out.
