Intel Wireless-AC 7260 on X220T, Bluetooth Possible?
Posted: Fri Mar 11, 2016 2:41 pm
I just purchased the 7260 and tried to install it in my X220T that did not come with native Bluetooth, but met with several challenges. Placing it in the half-height slot, I could get Wi-Fi working but not Bluetooth (not even detected by the system). Placing it in the full-height slot, Bluetooth works but not Wi-Fi (similarly not detected by the system). Tried taping pins 20 and 51 on the card but still couldn't get it going as well. I'm currently at my wit's end trying to get both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth working at the same time. Tried on both Ubuntu and Windows 10 with similar results, so it's unlikely to be a driver issue. Any advice would be appreciated!
Edit: Figured out how to do so. It appears that a combination of taping/removing pin 51 on the 7260 and toggling WiMAX in the BIOS I/O Port Access did the trick. More information can be found here.
