Wireless card on t61 -7661-E26

#1 Post by Sacaminas19 » Wed Mar 28, 2012 10:37 am

Hi all;
I have read a lot about whitelist, modd bios etc, however I can´t find any information about a modd bios for t61 7661-e26.
I bought a wireless card mini pcI realtek 8187b to works with Win 7 & Mac os X. The issue is that Ican´t find the whitelist to this model .
I installed the wireless card and I had not the typical error no-1802, the OS work fine but they can´t find the card. I guess that the mini pcd restriction avoid works it.
Someone one can help me?

Thanks a lot and regards.

Hi RealBlackStuff and thanks for response;
I check the new bios in the web that you said one week ago and I updated to 2.29-1.08 burning in a cd and all work however the bios doesn´t recognize the card and neither the OS.
Maybe could be that this bios moddified is for the models: T61, T61p
R61 (14.1" widescreen with IEEE 1394): 7732, 7733, 7734, 7735, 7738, 7742, 7744, 7751, 7753, 7754, 7755 and my model 7661?
Thanks and I will be reading the forum.

The 7661 is a T61.
The indicated (5th) BIOS is for ALL T61 or T61p models, as well as for several R61.
If your BIOS now shows 2.29/1.08, the flash went through OK.
I suspect your new wifi card is bad.
Can you try it in another laptop?

PS: the 1802 error only applies to T42 and previous/older models.
From T43 onwards a modified BIOS is required.
