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.

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?

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...

Hi MikeFi,
Have you installed any sort of network card in the notebook yourself? If so then perhaps you will find proceeding link helpful:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-69757

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.

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

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.

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.

Thinkpad X130e AMD e300 approved minipci network card and UEFI preventing Fedoraliveusb from booting

I am just wondering where can I find the list for approved minipci wireless network card or disable the UEFI lock for it
I am trying to install Killer NIC N1103 on it
""ERROR
1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in Power off and remove the miniPCI network card.""
One more thing is there anyway to disable the UEFI lock so I can boot from my Fedora live usb?

Hello,
As far as I know, Lenovo offers no way to disable the whitelisting for MiniPCIe cards in the BIOS/UEFI firmware.
You may be able to find firmware that does this from a third-party, but I would imagine that installing it voids your warranty. At least until Lenovo-provided firmware is reinstalled.

Replacement network cards for MacPro

My question is for anyone who is familiar with the MacPro motherboard. Lightning blew out my dual ethernet card and the estimate to replace it is around $450. A friend told me I could purchase a compatible network card and plug it directly into one of the three available slots on the mother board. If this is true, could anyone suggest to me a network card that is compatible with the MacPro motherboard? I would appreciate any help with this issue!

Are you considering any particular cards ?
I have had good luck with DEC21040 (10baseT) and DEC21140 (100baseT) cards
in Solaris 7 through Solaris 10 on x86.
The same can be said for 3Com 3C905C-TX cards.
Solaris 8x86 will recognize many chipsets natively,
and a number of third party developers have created working driver packages.
Most of their driver packages are free, but a few are not free.
Solaris 9 works with a few more, and Solaris 10 works with yet more adapters.
The Solaris 8x86 HCL list has the native cards.
This other Sun web page can direct you toward 3rd party sites.

X230 / mSATA SSD - Will not allow boot (unauthorized network card)

this is killing me. I just got a crucial msata ssd. i went to install and the thinkpad whitelist fcc crap is giving me trouble. the system thinks it a network card and is therefore stopping the boot. i see others have installed msata on x230 and I have done this on other models as well.
does anyone know a way around this that doesn't envolve changing the bios to a custom bios hack?

Hello,
I don't have an X230 myself, but have you tried using a different MiniPCIe slot? On my X220, only one of the MiniPCIe slots is mSATA compatible. Perhaps it is the same way with the X230.

Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

what OS you are running?

have you tried to load last good known configuration or the last windows restore point?
or to reinstall OS?
