hi
I know that topic is repeated but i have not found a solution for my problem.
I have a new ThinkPad L530 2481-3PG and want to get a Ericsson F5521gw Mobile Broadband Minicard Composite Device in it running.
After I had plugged in the device I can not boot anymore.
The BIOS stops with : Unauthorized network card ......
I have already installed the latest BIOS Version.
I dont know what else to do. Why it doesnt work?
Can anybody help me please?
kind regards
Christian

Re: Unauthorized network card L530 and Ericsson F5521gw
The only two whitelisted WWAN cards for L530 are (source):
60Y3257 Sierrawireless Gobi-3000 WWAN WW SKU
60Y3297 Ericsson H5321gw WWAN WW SKU
Your F5521gw is not a whitelisted card, therefore you need a hacked BIOS to circumvent the built-in card whitelist. Unfortunately, a brief look at the usual place indicates that no one has been able to flash a modded BIOS image for the ##30 generation ThinkPads without using hardware flashers.
In conclusion, you can't use your F5521gw in the WWAN slot of your L530 for now.
