Lenovo Yoga 11e Whitelist removal?

Hi there,
The wifi card of my wife's laptop (Lenovo yoga 11e) died. I tried to replace it with something more capable. (Ax200,ax210, ax300)
With the cards I have tried (different models and chipsets) i am getting an error message saying: 1802: unauthorized network card installed ..... System halted.
Through some research I have learned that Lenovo devices perform a whitelist check at the bios/UEFI level and block all non authorized hardware.
Is it possible to remove that restriction? 
Is it possible to find modified bios files somewhere?
Any help would be appreciated. 
You all know happy wife happy life 

Btw the Lenovo laptop currently runs 
UEFI Bios version n15et80w (1.40)
The embedded controller version is n15ht35w (1.19)

Thanks in advance,
Heiko
