Brand new laptop: error! not support wireless lan in system
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2011 3:27 am
Bought a Lenovo Y460P and received it today. The sales representative promised the Intel 6230 dual-band Wifi chip would work. It does. But, the BIOs does not have it in the whitelist or whatever.
So, I keep getting a message on boot stating "error! not support wireless lan in system". I have to hit F1 every time to continue onward. The wifi card works 110% on Win7 and on Ubuntu.
I've searched Google like mad trying to find a solution but have not succeeded. There may have been one at one point, but a bios website which discussed it via Google cache. But, that site is offline and apparently defunct. What I realize is that there are at least three possible options: third-party BIOs, hacking the BIOs, or hacking the PCI-ID of the wifi adapter.
Can anyone advise me on how to get this resolved?
