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

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.

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.
[edit] Simul-post with the OP.

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,
Solved!

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.

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.

Its a serious problem and many people are facing the same issue on both locked and factory unlocked phones.
I wonder when Apple will address to this issue. After all it is losing all its reputation!
See this thread, many users are encountering the same issue:

I believe its a software issue and could be solved asap Apple fixes it!

Can't boot after update, getting "microcode: failed to load" error

After restarting my computer, it's no longer able to boot, and just prints a continuous stream of errors. The first error it gives is "microcode: failed to load", and I looked it up and found that I should just have to install amd-ucode. Easy enough, except I can't boot. I tried booting into the latest live-usb image, and after connecting to the internet, mounting the partition to /mnt, and running
# arch-chroot /mnt pacman -S amd-ucode
I get the following error
error: amd-ucode: signature from "Allan McRae <[email protected]>" is invalid
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I'm not very familiar with how chrooting works, especially not arch-chroot, so I don't trust myself to fix the problem without breaking something. I was thinking of just putting the package on a flashdrive and installing it with
# arch-chroot /mnt pacman -U amd-ucode-package-name
Should I do it this way or am I misunderstanding how arch-chroot works?
By the way, this is an issue with my desktop. startx stopped working on my laptop right before I went to use my desktop and rebooted it, so after this issue is fixed I'll be making another thread about my laptop >_> Any help is much appreciated.

Ok, so I managed to install amd-ucode with pacstrap. That got rid of the microcode error, but I'm still getting
/dev/sdc1 contains a filesystem with errors. Forcing check
And then it just repeats the error message
[60.50342] ata5.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED
[60.51345] ata5.00: cmd 60/<long number that's formatted similarly to a MAC address>/40 tag 0 ncq 131072 in
[60.51743] res 40/<the same number>/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error)
[60.62421] ata5.00: status: { DRDY }
The numbers on the left just keep counting up, but the repeating error message stays mostly the same. What's odd about this error is that the disc it says it has a problem with isn't even the disc with the OS on it. When I have time I'm going to try physically removing /dev/sdc from my computer to see if the error stops.
Oh and there won't be any thread about my laptop issues. Turns out I filled my whole HDD, which was causing startx to fail.

Can not find BIOS update for Satellite A30

Hi friends.
I'am not found Toshiba A30-203 a new BIOS update.
I want install the windows vista but this error sccren.
Error message:
"A computer has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is first time you2ve seen this Stop error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please contact your system vendor for an updates BIOS."
to apologize for my bad English.

Hi
It seems the Satellite A30 series is a one of series which was delivered with the no Vista support BIOS.
I think it should be possible to install Vista after a the BIOS update.
But know you will ask for the new BIOS version. Am I right? ;)
Well, on the Toshiba BIOS page you should find different BIOS versions.
Its very important that you will check the more info option before you will start the BIOS update. There you should find information about the BIOS compatibility (not every version is compatible with every unit).
But as you know the Vista is not official on the market. As far as I can remember it should be possible to buy the OS in January 2007.
I think Toshiba will offer a new version of Vista BIOS in the next time. I hope so ;)

Where can i download bios updates for HP F,.47 12/17/11 ?

I need to update BIOS---it is HP F,47 date of 12/17/11 Everytime I start my computer I get a blue screen with message that it needs BIOS updates----I am using laptop now in safe mode. Please tell me where to download these updates!

-100, -200, -300? We've narrowed it down a bit. I would not be so picky if we were not talking about BIOS. Has to be 100% right or it can brick the system. The model number is on a sticker on the bottom or check this: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00033108
