1802 unauthorized network card - but FRU is listed in the Hardware Maintenance Manual

I have an x130e (0622-23U) and wanted to update my wireless card. I looked up the compatible cards in the Hardware Maintenance Manual. It listed several, including FRU 60Y3241, Intel Centrino Wireness-N 1000. I bought a card matching this description on Ebay. It arrived and is labeled as advertised. It shows Model: 112BNHMW.
When I installed it and rebooted, I get the BIOS error 1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in.
Did I buy a brick from from Ebay? (Wouldn't be the first time.) Or is there something else that I should be looking for when I shop for a compatible wireless card?
Thanks,

Good evening.
One detail that *may* explain why you're getting the 1802 error with a card that is listed in the HMM and presumably has a legit FRU label:
On page 85 of your HMM ( http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/x130e_hmm_en_0a96359_03.pdf ), item 15 is the WLAN adapter. The first grouping of MTMs includes your 0622-23U (denoted as 0622-23x). For that group, the listed FRU P/Ns are: 60Y3247 and 60Y3249. The remaining 4 groupings of MTMs do not specifically include yours. The 60Y3241 FRU is specified for 2338, 2339 and 2340 machines.
Just a hypothesis.
Regards.
Edit to add: Digging a little deeper, specifically, looking at the readme file for the BIOS update in the driver listings, it appears that there are different BIOS versions for different MTM families (23xx vs 06xx, generally) - "8Q" and "8R" prefixed. So it's not impossible that the BIOS whitelists also differ. Just an observation.

Thinkpad T510: 1802: Unauthorized Network Card

I did some updates to my laptop, and am now getting 1802 Unauthorized Network Card. The wireless card has been in this machine and working, before the BIOS and wireless card updates. The internal card is a Model 622ANHMW
Intel Centrino-Advanced N-6200. The machine will not boot unless this card is removed. I did not purchase this latpop new, but am pretty sure that this is the original card...and like I said was working fine prior to updates. Any ideas to correct this issue?
Thanks...

I wonder if the previous owner was running a modified BIOS to get around the wifi white list? A BIOS update pulled in a Lenovo-stock BIOS with the white list reinstated. Maybe.

T440s 1802 Unauthorized network card plug in...

Hi,
I bought a refurbished T440s with a rtl8192 wifi card. It doesn't work for my linux OS so I tried to replace it with Intel 7260.
I look at the FRU whitelist
http://download.lenovo.com/parts/ThinkPad/t440s_fru_list_20130724.pdf
And bought 04w3806 Intel 7260ac
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261423899805?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
But I still got "1802 unauthorized network card plugin" error at boot up.
What can I do??? Please help me.

Hello and welcome,
It looks like that should work. Are you running the latest BIOS? It's possible (maybe) that the card was added to the whitelist in a BIOS update.
Otherwise you will probably need to contact the card seller about this.

T440p: 1802 Unauthorized network card, no can't boot BIOS update

Yesterday I received my Lenovo Thinkpad T440p.
I wanted to install Linux immediately, but apparently 14.04 is not able to boot with the 2.22.
The solution suggested in various forums was to downgrade Bios to version 1.14, which I did using the Windows
Installer provided on the Lenovo Support page.
After rebooting I get the infamous 1802 error: Unauthorized network card plugged in, presumably because of the whitelist not being up to date.
I was told by the support hotline to update my BIOS to another version using the bootable CD images.
I burnt various versions of them, but none of them would boot.
The error appears right after the Thinkpad Splash screen. I can't get into Bios. The pressing of any buttons (Esc F1, F11, F12, Enter etc.) doesn't have any effect either.
How can I install another BIOS version? Is there any additional step I have to take, in order to update BIOS by a bootable CD?
Any help is highly appreciated!

stephbur,
are you sure IDs 8087:0716 are correct? Those IDs belong Intel USB Flash Loader, which might appear after unsuccessful reflash attempt of em7345 your laptop has. Did you perform something like this action?
x220 | i5-2520m | Intel ssd 320 series | Gobi 2000 3G GPS | WiFi
x220 | i5-2520m | hdd 320 | Intel msata ssd 310 series | 3G GPS | WiFi
Do it well, worse becomes itself

Z61t error:1802 Unauthorized network card...

Z61T productID:9446W26
One month back I started getting above message. System board was changed to cure.
Today again, I got same error message, AT post above message comes, and thats it.
Burned all different kinds of cd's to try and boot and flash the bios, it does not go past POST.
for most recent scenario,I started getting above message after I bios upgrade to 2.25
(1) Is there a way to restore the old bios? atleast computer was working though without the wifi.
(2) Is there a way to boot to DOS, windows whatever to cure this?

Welcome to the forum, jwoold!
No, the hack doesn't work on T43 and later models. You need an Intel card with a FRU number, for a list of applicable cards check this page under # 6:

Hope this helps.

Error 1802 Unauthorized Network card is plugged in. Power off and remove

Hola Tengo un Thinkpad W530 desde hace dos años. Acabo de cambiar la tarjeta Wifi que traia originalmente, Intel 6300, por una Intel AC 7260 ya que dispongo de router con capacidad AC. El problema viene al arrancar el portatil, recibo el mensaje del titulo y no arranca. Esta tarjeta no esta incluida en la whitelist autorizada. Yo me pregunto, de quien es el equipo, de Lenovo o mio? Porque no puedo instalar lo que necesite en un equipo que he pagado yo. Alguien ha conseguido solucionar este problema? Algun BIOS mod para el W530? Alguna forma de cambiar el PCID de la tarjeta Wifi? Gracias

Bienvenido al foro!
Si hay un BIOS modificado que quite el whitelist de Lenovo estaria probablemente en este foro: forums.mydigitallife.info
Por lo que he revisado asi a la ligera no hay aun un BIOS ya listo, ademas que es una opcion que conlleva cierto riesgo...

X40 and 1802 error: Unauthorized network card is plugged in

Hi,
I have an X40 with his original wifi card. After some bios upgrade, this error starting appearing:
1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in - Power off and remove the miniPCI network card.
How can I solve this issue? Maybe downgrading the BIOS?
Many thanks
Oliver

This is ridiculous!
My X40 is original and I am getting this error message since today!! Unauthorized mini pci? Unauthorized by whom?! Does this mean that they took this card of the authorized list? I think that this is an issue that IBM/Lenovo should fix and not have us go through some dangerous BIOS process that might screw up the computer.
Looking at the thread this has been going on for a while...without any solutions coming from Lenovo. This is, for me, a BIG dent in my trust in Lenovo support.....will support continue to decrease since Lenovo took over?

That's your problem right there.
Lenovo-issued WLAN and WWAN cards have custom firmware that is recognized by BIOS which will "bark" at any other card, even if the basic card - AC7260 in your case - is the same.
Get a genuine Lenovo card or flash a modded BIOS.

Unauthorized network card is plugged in - Intel 7260 Wireless-AC PCI card

I tried to replace the wireless card (Intel(R) Centrino(R) Ultimate-N 6300 AGN) in my ThinkPad W530 with Intel Wireless 7260-AC card.
I got the following error message during start up:
Unauthorized network card is plugged in 8086/08B1/8086/4070
The intel wireless 7260-AC should be used by new thinkpad W model such as W540.
Is there anyone know how I can resolve this problem?
Thanks a lot!

Unauthorized "ways" that would likely put any warranty at risk.

Hi dear!
I'm very disappointed with Apple products! I was 15 days without my Iphone 5, because it stopped working and the had to be replaced by authorized apple. Then i bought an iphone 5s in two days it stopped working. Doesn't read the sim card. I call to Apple suport and discovery that the model A1533 is not warranted in Brazil and need to be replaced, because there is a hardware problem. In a moment i don't have anyone Phone. Why Apple does not send other equipment equal to authorized to exchange my Iphone, because in Brasil doesn't have the same model? I liked a lot this Apple phone, but i can't use, i have one brand new, but doen'st work. I don't have anybody in USA to exchange in one Apple store. Please help me!
Thanks.

In the process of reformatting my macbook pro, I saved everything but my keyword list. The keywords are with the images, but the total list I use under "Keywords" is not present. Is there a way to re-create all my keywords I've used over the last 6 year

In the process of reformatting my macbook pro, I saved everything but my keyword list. The keywords are with the images, but the total list I use under "Keywords" is not present. Is there a way to re-create all my keywords I've used over the last 6 years.

I accomplished what I needed last night. I remembered I had picked my favorite images from each year and put them in a "favorite" folder by year. These folders included 500 to 1200 images per year. I pulled up the folder for each year and highlighted all images and clicked on "Keywords" and all keywords used for all images were listed. I made those keywords persistent. It took me a while to realize I had to click on each keyword to make it persistent. After doing this for all years, I assume 95% of all keywords I have used over the many years were back in my list. I'm sure there is probably a more "technical" way to accomplish what I needed, but this seems to have worked. I also exported my list into a word document and is saved on my hard drive.
If I had not made folders with my favorite images for each year, I could not have used this method, so if you figure out a better way, I like to hear it. Thanks for your comments and willingness to help.

Always put the right number to verify the credit card, but it always appears that the number is not valid.

Check your billing address information. iTunes uses the USPS system to validate the CC billing address. You could either try;
1. Look at your paper or online bank statement
2. Go to usps.com and look at zipcode lookup. Enter your billing address, submit and look for any change. A simple "A" versus "a" could make the difference.

You need to change your form of payment if the debit card is no longer valid.
