Hi all,
I'm using a Lenovo x240 which embeds a barely working rtl8192ee wifi card. Since I just installed an AC network at home I'd like to switch card and bought an Intel 7265.
Of course I can't get past the BIOS screen as the IDs (8086:095B / 8086:5210) are not part of the list. I've tried updating the BIOS to the latest version but it didn't help, at least I got the FL1/FL2 files from the update ISO.
But looking online and reading this (almost similar) thread:
https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-L...el-7620-AC
I've realized it wouldn't that easy to change the BIOS.
Since I'm running Linux, not many tools seem to be adapted, so I went ahead and remove the W25Q128FV chip from the motherboard and did a backup copy of the current BIOS.
My questions:
- Now that I have a flash dump + FL1/FL2 files, what are the next steps to add my IDs (at least) or remove the check completely?
- Are there any Linux tools to do so?
- Are those (Windows) tutorials adapted for the x240 BIOS?
