Thanks, I am so going down this rabbit hole.

It's for an X230, I wanted 802.11ac wifi in it.

If you are interested in doing other modifications yourself, also read about UEFI variables, how they control menu options and can be tweaked with just grub

x230 is easy, just install coreboot instead of messing with bios patches.

I've run coreboot for a while but had issues with USB3 and the docking station so I unfortunately had to revert back to the Lenovo BIOS.
