Thinkpads Forum

Hi.
Ive just bought hp un2400 modem(mini pci-e), plugged it in and was surprized to see "1804: Unauthorized WAN card is plugged in - Power off and remove the WAN card." error during boot.
I've done some googling and figured out that ThinkPad's have "white list" of modems that lenovo allow to use. There are some workaround for this issue for other models(some of them include bios patching\hacking) but I haven't found any that was confirmed to be suitable x100e.
So, here is the question - how to make x100e disable this "white list" check(or another workaround that will allow me to use x100e with that modem)?
Thanks.

HI,
You have to flash it by modified bios.
I've done it on all my machines with no problems.

Does anyone have a link to the no whitelist modified bios for the X100e?
