    Hello,

    I just got a Intel 6300 AGN wireless card and of course, got the 1802 error message on boot. Looking around, there are a bunch of modded BIOS's available for the W520. I know the error can be bypassed by changing the device and subvendor ID's in the BIOS. How are the whitelists completely removed/disabled though? Looking at a binary diff of the original BIOS and a modded BIOS (without whitelist), there seems to be many, many bytes that are changed (I haven't decompressed the BIOS files yet). Would a BIOS expert :)worthy:) mind posting a guide on how to remove the WLAN whitelist? (Maybe the WWAN whitelist too?)

    Thanks in advance! Here is my system info:

    Manufacturer: Lenovo
    Model: W520
    Bios revision: Any
    Bios Type: Phoenix SecureCore UEFI

    @kukubau and @qtm: Rather than getting a premodded BIOS, I would like to learn how to mod one myself :). Here is the information you requested anyway:

    BIOS version: 1.30 (8BET50WW)
    Model: 4270-cto
    Firmware revision: 1.23
