That is, until Lenovo decides that they want to have a say in what WiFi cards you can install.

Fortunately IDA 7 Free and a Buspirate fixed that. Would be a shame if any PCIe cards would be accepted, wouldn‘t it...

FYI, the patch was less than ten bytes long. Inconvenient non the less.

Lenovo stopped the whitelusting with the 50 Models. I tried two internal wifi m2 ngff cards that are not listed as compatible in my x260 and both were working.
