No 2. Yes 3. Intel AC 7260, but be sure to use WLAN Optimizer (http://www.martin-majowski.de/) with both 'disable background scan' and 'enable streaming mode' checked to prevent ping spikes caused by Intel's POS drivers.

kwm Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I am so frustrated with Lenovo ... is there a listing of all the companies that do this? I'm starting to look for a new laptop and don't want to find myself limited by this stupid corporate moneymaking scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My information could be outdated but as far as I know, MSI, Acer, and Asus don't have the whitelist bs. Lenovo, HP, Dell, and Toshiba who are still doing it.

kwm Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Has anyone used the bios linked at the bottom of https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_Ideapad_Y480 ? Other than trying to install a new WLAN card, is there a way to tell if the "whitelist" is gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhAnt0mFS Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I'm looking at the changelog between v3.05 and V3.08 and the only thing I can find is: Quote Summary of changes ================== General Information: 74CN47WW 1. Implement code for uEFI security vulnerabilities. Is it worth to mod the v3.08 or just go with v3.05? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to have a minimum of 5 posts on the forums. Then you'll be promoted and thus be able to download 5 files/month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
