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!

  • 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... 

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • ?? configure network-cards under Sol. 8 ?? please heeellpplp

    Hi,
    I'm a stand alone Solaris's user (at home). Since about 2 months I've installed Solaris 8 on my PC, and wont be able to configure my Internet-Connection and my privat Home-Network.
    I'd already read about 500 different publication's pages, but wont be able to go any further. My main PC contain Solaris 8 and has two RTL-Network-Cards. One for the Internet Connection(LAN), and the other (interne hub) for my small privat network at home. I've read there should be two files named: /etc/hostname.XXX0, XXX1. But there arent such files to see by me. The only file I have is "/dev/hostname.". I've tried to create them and lunch some commands I've seen in some manual's page.
    Result ===> some error messages by the boot sequence.
    Please can anyone help? Without having these cards working, I can't have any Internet connection.
    The OS (Solaris) is already working on my PC, and I love it. But the only problem is how to set up these damned hardware, Network-Cards, Sound-Card and. I don't really know how to start with.
    Please help!! Dont want to give up and I will not! Please help me to enjoy that hard work.
    Thanks for helping.
    PS: I'm connected to the internet trought Network (LAN), i.e I'm using a RTL 8029 PCI Ethernet network-card, and the interne Hub is also a RTL 8029 PCI Ethernet card.

    yes. you got it .... eg..
    /etc/hostname.le0
    /etc/hostname.le1
    in here put the hostname ... so at the shell prompt:
    # hostname <cr>
    should give your hostname.
    now, in the hosts file: eg:
    # Internet host table
    127.0.0.1     localhost     
    <your ip address> <your hostname>     loghost
    129.156.89.252 host2
    you need to reboot after this.
    if you get a 'bad address' error on boot,
    you probably have a mismatch of hostnames/ip addresses somewhere in their respective files.
    also, see:
    # man hosts
    # man ifconfig

  • Has anybody built a BERTS generator and detector over a network?

    I'm using LabView 7.0 and I was wondering if anybody had developed a BERT's generator and Detector using LabView 7.0. I will be using it over a TCP/IP network.

    Hello,
    I�m not exactly sure what your application is but here are the two paths I can see:
    1) You�d like to do BERT testing on a data set. This data set is transferred to the PC via TCP/IP. In this case I would suggest using the standard TCP/IP VIs that are included with Labview 7.0 to transfer the data. These VIs are located in the following location on the Function Palette: �All Functions -> Communications -> TCP.�
    There are also examples for using the TCP/IP VIs at the following location in the NI Example Finder: �Networking -> TCP & UDP�
    Once this data is collected you could perform BERT on the data set using the Modulation Toolkit:
    http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?lang=US&cid=12855
    2) You�d like to do BERT testing on the actual TCP/IP traff
    ic that�s going by on the Ethernet segment your PC is attached to. The TCP/IP data that is received by Labview and most other TCP/IP applications has already had data packets with errors in them removed and retransmitted by the networking card and/or the operating system, so the data you would see from Labview shouldn�t have any errors in it. To get the raw data from the Ethernet segment would require low-level Windows API calls and/or access to the networking card driver itself.
    Hope this helps! Let me know if there is anything I can help with or clarify.
