The CDC (Communications Daughter Card) slot is an internal expansion slot found in older ThinkPads.

It is not meant for customer upgrades.<br>
Different CDC slots exist for different functions and different form-factor cards, so you cannot just install any CDC adapter into a CDC slot.

The types of CDC cards you can use in your system is dependent on the BIOS. If you insert a Bluetooth IV with 56K Modem from an R52 system (for instance) and place it into an R51 system which only had the Modem Daughter Card, the system refuses to boot up and displays Invalid Daughter Card.

Bluetooth Daughter Card (14 pins)

2014-06-28T14:28:24Z

Siemer: /* Bluetooth 4.0 */

__NOTOC__

The 14 pin Bluetooth Daughter Cards (BDC) are USB Bluetooth Adapters that are installed in a proprietary BDC socket. The connection probably carries usb, power, led and enable signal. The antenna is printed on the PCB. The location varies by model (within the screen, under the palm rest area, etc.); refer to the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the location of the BDC.

Very likely, '''all 14-pin-BDCs can be interchanged, allowing newer Bluetooth adapters to be installed in older ThinkPads.''' The Bluetooth 4.0 module, for example, works in an ThinkPad X200, even though it didn’t even exist at the time the X200 was released.

=== Details ===

When Bluetooth is enabled, the Bluetooth-logo LED will light up and executing {{cmdroot|lsusb}} will show an entry mentioning "Broadcom".

On recent ThinkPads the Wireless killswitch disables both WiFi and Bluetooth (verified on a ThinkPad Z60m, Z61t, T60, T61 and X61).

==ThinkPads without BDC socket==

Not every Bluetooth comes via 14 pin Bluetooth Daughter Card. The {{X130e}}, {{X140e}} and the {{X240}} for example use combined WiFi/Bluetooth mini-PCIe cards instead. Older devices use the [[CDC slot|Communication Daughter Card slot]] to provide Bluetooth.

=== Compatibility ===

==== Designated slots ====

According to the design, each slot is intended for a specific purpose. In the X200 for example, the three slots are for:

* [[Intel® Turbo Memory hard drive cache]] or [[Wireless USB (UWB)]] (half-length slot)
* WWAN 3G card (full-length)
* WLAN card (full-length)

The purpose of each slot decides over:

* antenna cable routing (or placement of other connectors)
* details of some pins of the MiniPCI Express connector
** RF kill signal (one pin)
** LED signal lines (several pins, one for each type (WLAN, WWAN) of LED)
** SIM card slot access (three/four(?) pins giving access to a SIM card (in a slot somewhere))

In case of the X200, I can confirm that the WLAN LED pin of the WLAN slot is connected to the WLAN LED (as everyone might have guessed). Same is true of the WWAN LED pin in the WWAN slot.

Some questions which remain open:

* Does the RF kill hardware switch kill the WWAN slot?
* Is the WWAN LED pin in the WLAN slot connected to something and vice versa?
* Are the wires from the SIM card slot connected to all MiniPCI Express slots or only the WWAN slot?

Questions answered for the ThinkPad X200:

* The WLAN LED pin in the WWAN slot does not go the WWAN LED.
* The RF kill pin is active (grounded) in the WWAN slot at least under some circumstances and there is a SMAPI software switch which might be able to toggle that signal.
* Antenna cables go to their supposed slots by default, but are long enough to be rerouted to any slot.

==== BIOS checks ====

The BIOS is know to check PCI IDs (via whitelist) and block the boot process if it’s not satisfied (<tt>1802</tt> error). The details vary. Above mentioned hardware might only be accepted if it comes with one set of possible IDs (for Lenovo). The same hardware (from the driver’s viewpoint) is often also available with other IDs if it is sold though other channels. (see also [[Problem with unauthorized MiniPCI network card]], [http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=69445 1802 with MiniPCIe on t60],[http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T_Series_Thinkpads&message.id=274 same]).

Non-official patched versions of BIOS files are available for X300, X61, X61s, T61, T61p, R61, R61e (and others, i did it to x60s) which remove whitelist restrictions allowing non-lenovo PCI-e devices..

Integrated camera

Siemer: /* 3.5 screw holes (but it’s fixed with double sided tape?), 4 pin connector */

=== The Integrated camera ===
Almost all recent ThinkPads have an integrated camera above the display. This camera (typically called a webcam) is USB attached. On some earlier ThinkPads a proprietary camera was used, but later models use a standard UVC camera which is supported by the [http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ uvcvideo driver].
</div>
|}

Because of their location above the display the cameras all share a long and thin board layout. But the exact shape varies. Often several models share the exact same form factor, but with different resolutions. DIY upgraders can sometimes use higher resolution cameras from later models or cheaper camera modules from earlier’s.

Also their connector varies. The 4pin connector usually carries two USB data lines and two lines 3.3V power.

__NOTOC__

The 14 pin Bluetooth Daughter Cards (BDC) are USB Bluetooth Adapters that are installed in a proprietary BDC socket. The connection probably carries usb, power, led and enable signal. The antenna is printed on the PCB. The location varies by model (within the screen, under the palm rest area, etc.); refer to the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the location of the BDC.

Very likely, '''all 14-pin-BDCs can be interchanged, allowing newer Bluetooth adapters to be installed in older ThinkPads.''' The Bluetooth 4.0 module, for example, works in an ThinkPad X200, even though it didn’t even exist at the time the X200 was released.

Problem with unauthorized MiniPCI network card

2014-05-06T15:31:56Z

Siemer: /* Use another MiniPCI (express) slot */

== Problem description ==

The ThinkPad BIOS only allows to boot with an "authorized" adapter installed. If an unsupported card is detected, the BIOS prints a message on the screen and stops the system:

1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in - Power off and remove the miniPCI network card.

The card's sub-vendor PCI-ID (which can be seen using ''lspci -v'') is checked against a [[Wikipedia:Whitelist|whitelist]] in the BIOS. IBM/Lenovo's reasoning for this is that the combination of MiniPCI card and the integrated antenna in the ThinkPad needs to be certified by the US FCC (Federal Communications Commission).{{footnote|1}} or similar agencies in other countries.

== Solutions ==

{{NOTE|Any of the following solutions should suffice to make the wireless card useable. You only need to perform one of them.}}

It may be possible to use the computer with the unauthorized card deactivated (but not removed). Press {{key|F1}} to enter the BIOS and deactivate the WLAN card, then attempt to boot with the card disabled. This does not make the wireless card work, but it may allow you to boot the computer normally.

=== Modifying the card's ID ===

A safer and better method than modifying the BIOS is modifying the PCI-ID of the wlan card to match the authorized one:

# You'll risk the wireless card instead of the motherboard.
# Future BIOS updates will not create any problems.
# No problem with newer laptops with different BIOS; the only reqirement is to find an ID that is already listed in the BIOS, which can be easily achieved if the community maintaina a compatibility table.

The instructions are [http://www.dagarlas.org/stuff/computing/article0001.php here] (link down, 2011/05/14 - archive.org mirror [http://web.archive.org/web/20071016063645/http://www.dagarlas.org/stuff/computing/article0001.php here], second mirror [http://www.broken.com/mirror/thinkpad here]). This page is for Atheros-based cards and HP notebooks, but it applies to Thinkpads as well. It also has links on how to edit the PCI-ID on Intel Pro Wireless cards. Instruction for intel 2200/2915 cards are [http://stachon.webpark.cz/ipw-eeprom.html here] or [http://fx.cz/sklad/intel/ here] or [http://www.thinkpad-forum.de/thinkpad-hardware/zubeh%C3%B6r/44192-tutorial-nicht-ibm-wlan-karte-2200-2915-im-thinkpad/ here] (in German). The second one is much simpler because it provides an already patched and compiled ipw2200 driver required to do the job.
{{NOTE|On Linux-based distributions, the driver is loaded based on the PCI-ID. Keep this in mind when "faking" other models. }}

{{NOTE|Modifying your PCI-ID will require either a laptop without a BIOS lock or a PCI adapter for your desktop. Also, this procedure can render your card useless, but that's better than bricking your laptop.}}

{{NOTE| According to the information found from the links above the authors suggest a change in the network card memory (ethtool -E ethX magic 0x2200 offset 0x8 value 0x12). However, this doesn't work on my Thinkpad X40. Further modifications were needed to eliminate the 1802 error. The value of the first register inside the memory of the PCI card should be modified to read:

<code>
Offset: 0x0000
Values: 02 a5 00 80 20 42 86 80 12 27 86 80 18 00 01 03
</code>

one [http://fx.cz/sklad/intel/ source] suggest that one more value should be modified:

<code>
offset 0xa8 value 0xf9
</code>

although it might not be necessary.}}

=== Use another MiniPCI (express) slot ===

On models with multiple MiniPCI (express) slots, the BIOS checks only the “WiFi-slot” for unauthorized WiFi cards. A neighboring WWAN slot is allowed to hold such a card. But there might be a catch: the WWAN slot’s “disable radio” signal could be active, so that the card will refuse from using the radio. The operating system can see this condition: on Linux it is reported as “hard blocked” by rfkill. (This actually depends on the driver: “b43” does notice that the card refuses to switch it’s radio on and reports it via the rfkill interface.)

Combinations that work in the WWAN slot without further tweaking:
* Lenovo Y530 / Intel 4965AGN
* X61t (7762-94G) / Atheros 5008X scavenged from a MacBook Pro

On MiniPCI express(!) slots, pin 20 is used as the first “disable radio” signal, as implemented by common WiFi cards. Isolating pin 20 in the slot from the card will leave the signal dangling, which means “disable radio” is inactive: i.e. “radio on”. If necessary, the pin on the card can be taped over with film or painted over with nail polish to block electrical connection. Pin #20 is located on the underside of the miniPCI Express board, second pin from the notch, on the side with more pins. Here is [http://pinoutsguide.com/Slots/mini_pcie_pinout.shtml detailed MiniPCIe pinout]. Combinations reported to work this way:
* Thinkpad X61s / Intel Wifi link 4965agn
* Thinkpad X61 / Intel 3945abg (bulk)
* Thinkpad X200 / Intel 5300 and Broadcom 4312
* Thinkpad T60p (widescreen) / Sierra MC8781

Questions still open:
* can the signal be deactivated otherwise? (WLAN-on-for-WWAN-slot)
* do WWAN cards have such a signal? Is it on another pin (a “second disable radio” pin is defined for mPCIe since at least 2010)?
** in case it’s the same signal, how to deactivate the WWAN kill signal? On the X200 the hardware switch doesn’t do that.
* as the card (usually) drives an LED to reflect it’s state, can that signal be routed to the WWAN or WiFi LED?

Taping over any Mini PCI-e pin is a delicate exercise in patience, the connectors are less than the width of most ball point pens. Transparent scotch type tape is easier to work with since it is possible to see where you're cutting.

See the discussion page for more.

=== Modifying the BIOS ===

{{WARN|It is dangerous to mess with your BIOS, you can easily make your machine unbootable. Proceed with caution!}}

{{NOTE|On the {{R32}}, {{T43}}, {{X41}}, {{X60}}, {{W500}}, {{X230}} and probably others, the BIOS hacks and the "no-1802" utility don't work.}}

See the table below for links to modified BIOS images with the whitelist disabled. Information on making this BIOS modification for newer ThinkPads can be found [http://www.endeer.cz/bios.tools/bios.html here].

Alternatively, you may can modify the whitelist to include the PCI-ID of the card you wish to use. The complete instructions for this procedure are [http://www.paul.sladen.org/thinkpad-r31/wifi-card-pci-ids.html here].

* You can try googling for your model number + "whitelist removal", there are lots of pre-hacked BIOSes out there.

* You can use the [[Problem with error 01C9 - More than one Ethernet devices | no-1802 and no-01C9 Linux Live CD]] without applying the no-01C9 patch. It is very convenient to use and based on the C code below.

* You can use the DOS [http://jcnp.pku.edu.cn/~shadow/1802/no-1802.com no-1802] utility, written by Tisheng Chen.{{footnote|2}} It will set a certain bit in the CMOS memory which disables the whitelist check, but it has been reported not to work on the latest machines, such as the T43 and X41

* You can compile and run (as root) the following C-code, which was written by Matthew Garrett. It was based on the code written by Vojtech Pavlik, which in turn was based on the assembly used in the no-1802 program. {{footnote|3}}

<code>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int main(void)
{
int fd;
unsigned char data;

fd = open("/dev/nvram", O_RDWR);
if (fd==-1) {
printf("Opening /dev/nvram failed\n");
return 1;
}
printf("Disabling WiFi whitelist check.\n");

/* BIG INFORMATIONAL WARNING */
/* The linux nvram driver doesn't give access to the first 14 bytes of
the CMOS. As a result, we seek to 0x5c rather than 0x6a. If you're
implementing this under another OS, then you'll have to go to whichever
address is appropriate for your access method */

lseek(fd, 0x5c, SEEK_SET);
read(fd, &data, 1);
printf("CMOS address 0x5c: %02x->", data);
data |= 0x80;
printf("%02x\n", data);
lseek(fd, 0x5c, SEEK_SET);
if (write(fd, &data, 1)<0) {
printf("Unable to write to /dev/nvram - hack failed\n");
close(fd);
return 2;
}
close(fd);
printf("Done.\n");
return 0;
}

==Problem with WiFi LED==
After getting an unauthorized card to work, you may notice that the WiFi LED found on the ThinkPad is not working. This doesn't happen with all unauthorized cards. The general cause for this is the fact that the MiniPCI standard leaves the implementation of the LED signals available on the MiniPCI connector to the card vendors. Therefore some newer WiFi cards use one of the signals originally meant for LEDs to implement the "radio kill" switch input. As a result, the LED doesn't get proper signals and fails.

====Details====
The WiFi LED found in ThinkPads is connected to following pins on the MiniPCI connector.
{| align="center" cellpadding="2" width="100%" style="border:1px; background:grey;"

|WiFi active LED +
|-style="background: white;"
|13
|LED1_GRNN
|WiFi active LED - (older cards) / RF Silent input (newer cards)
|}
Note: The descriptions are specific to this article.

If your LED is not working, the problem could be the pin 13. Newer cards may no longer provide the necessary negative signal there to drive the LED. Before you apply any fixes, be sure to check the voltage between pin 11 and ground (can be found for example on the MiniPCI latch arms) - it should give you about 3.3V while the WiFi is active and 0V otherwise. The voltage between pin 13 and ground should measure about 2.5V. The notebook has to be running while you perform the tests so be extremely careful. All the mentioned pins are on the upper side so it's quite easy to get to them with a multimeter. If all the voltages match, your LED is fixable.

Reference:<br>

[http://www.interfacebus.com/MiniPCI_Pinout_124Pin.html MiniPCI Pinout]

====Solution====
The solution is to connect the ground (GND) to the pin 13. However, since the new ''RF Silent input'' signal is active low, grounding the card side will tell it to turn itself off. Therefore, we have to separate pin 13 of the card from the system board and connect ground to the system board side only.

There are many ways to accomplish this. One which doesn't require any soldering is to mask pin 13 on the card with a cellophane tape and use about 3cm of thin wire to connect pin 13 of the connector to the ground. Place one end of the wire on the masked pad and insert the card into the slot. Check if the wire is centered on the pad and try pulling it (but not too hard) to see if it holds. If it comes out easily, pull the card out and repeat. If you successfully attach it, you have to connect the other end to the ground. The best place is the left MiniPCI latch arm. Bend it outside and insert the wire into the small gap between the two pieces of metal the arm is made from. Finally, make sure that the wire doesn't touch anything else and doesn't stand out too much, it must not touch the touchpad electronics when you put the palmrest back on. If in doubt, cover the wire with some insulator.

{{WARN|Do this fix ONLY if you know exactly what you are doing and at your own risk! If you're not sure about any part, don't even try it or you may damage your WiFi card and/or brick your laptop. You have been warned.}}

{{NOTE|If your card is not listed in the table below, your WiFi LED may not work for some other reason. Therefore, make sure you understood the problem described here and made all the measurements carefully. This way you will know if this apply to your card and if it can be fixed this way. Otherwise, if you're skilled enough, please try to find out why your LED doesn't work and contribute to this article.}}

Problem with unauthorized MiniPCI network card

2014-05-06T15:28:05Z

Siemer: /* Use another MiniPCI (express) slot */

== Problem description ==

The ThinkPad BIOS only allows to boot with an "authorized" adapter installed. If an unsupported card is detected, the BIOS prints a message on the screen and stops the system:

1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in - Power off and remove the miniPCI network card.

The card's sub-vendor PCI-ID (which can be seen using ''lspci -v'') is checked against a [[Wikipedia:Whitelist|whitelist]] in the BIOS. IBM/Lenovo's reasoning for this is that the combination of MiniPCI card and the integrated antenna in the ThinkPad needs to be certified by the US FCC (Federal Communications Commission).{{footnote|1}} or similar agencies in other countries.

== Solutions ==

{{NOTE|Any of the following solutions should suffice to make the wireless card useable. You only need to perform one of them.}}

It may be possible to use the computer with the unauthorized card deactivated (but not removed). Press {{key|F1}} to enter the BIOS and deactivate the WLAN card, then attempt to boot with the card disabled. This does not make the wireless card work, but it may allow you to boot the computer normally.

=== Modifying the card's ID ===

A safer and better method than modifying the BIOS is modifying the PCI-ID of the wlan card to match the authorized one:

# You'll risk the wireless card instead of the motherboard.
# Future BIOS updates will not create any problems.
# No problem with newer laptops with different BIOS; the only reqirement is to find an ID that is already listed in the BIOS, which can be easily achieved if the community maintaina a compatibility table.

The instructions are [http://www.dagarlas.org/stuff/computing/article0001.php here] (link down, 2011/05/14 - archive.org mirror [http://web.archive.org/web/20071016063645/http://www.dagarlas.org/stuff/computing/article0001.php here], second mirror [http://www.broken.com/mirror/thinkpad here]). This page is for Atheros-based cards and HP notebooks, but it applies to Thinkpads as well. It also has links on how to edit the PCI-ID on Intel Pro Wireless cards. Instruction for intel 2200/2915 cards are [http://stachon.webpark.cz/ipw-eeprom.html here] or [http://fx.cz/sklad/intel/ here] or [http://www.thinkpad-forum.de/thinkpad-hardware/zubeh%C3%B6r/44192-tutorial-nicht-ibm-wlan-karte-2200-2915-im-thinkpad/ here] (in German). The second one is much simpler because it provides an already patched and compiled ipw2200 driver required to do the job.
{{NOTE|On Linux-based distributions, the driver is loaded based on the PCI-ID. Keep this in mind when "faking" other models. }}

{{NOTE|Modifying your PCI-ID will require either a laptop without a BIOS lock or a PCI adapter for your desktop. Also, this procedure can render your card useless, but that's better than bricking your laptop.}}

{{NOTE| According to the information found from the links above the authors suggest a change in the network card memory (ethtool -E ethX magic 0x2200 offset 0x8 value 0x12). However, this doesn't work on my Thinkpad X40. Further modifications were needed to eliminate the 1802 error. The value of the first register inside the memory of the PCI card should be modified to read:

<code>
Offset: 0x0000
Values: 02 a5 00 80 20 42 86 80 12 27 86 80 18 00 01 03
</code>

one [http://fx.cz/sklad/intel/ source] suggest that one more value should be modified:

<code>
offset 0xa8 value 0xf9
</code>

although it might not be necessary.}}

=== Use another MiniPCI (express) slot ===

On models with multiple MiniPCI (express) slots, the BIOS checks only the “WiFi-slot” for unauthorized WiFi cards. A neighboring WWAN slot is allowed to hold such a card. But there might be a catch: the WWAN slot’s “disable radio” signal could be active, so that the card will refuse from using the radio. The operating system can see this condition: on Linux it is reported as “hard blocked” by rfkill. (This actually depends on the driver: “b43” does notice that the card refuses to switch it’s radio on and reports it via the rfkill interface.)

Combinations that work in the WWAN slot without further tweaking:
* Lenovo Y530 / Intel 4965AGN
* X61t (7762-94G) / Atheros 5008X scavenged from a MacBook Pro

On MiniPCI express(!) slots, pin 20 is used as the first “disable radio” signal, as implemented by common WiFi cards. Isolating pin 20 in the slot from the card will leave the signal dangling, which means “disable radio” is inactive: i.e. “radio on”. If necessary, the pin on the card can be taped over with film or painted over with nail polish to block electrical connection. Pin #20 is located on the underside of the miniPCI Express board, second pin from the notch, on the side with more pins. Here is [http://pinoutsguide.com/Slots/mini_pcie_pinout.shtml detailed MiniPCIe pinout]. Combinations reported to work this way:
* Thinkpad X61s / Intel Wifi link 4965agn
* Thinkpad X61 / Intel 3945abg (bulk)
* Thinkpad X200 / Intel 5300
* Thinkpad T60p (widescreen) / Sierra MC8781

Questions still open:
* can the signal be deactivated otherwise? (WLAN-on-for-WWAN-slot)
* do WWAN cards have such a signal? Is it on another pin (a “second disable radio” pin is defined for mPCIe since at least 2010)?
** in case it’s the same signal, how to deactivate the WWAN kill signal? On the X200 the hardware switch doesn’t do that.
* as the card (usually) drives an LED to reflect it’s state, can that signal be routed to the WWAN or WiFi LED?

Taping over any Mini PCI-e pin is a delicate exercise in patience, the connectors are less than the width of most ball point pens. Transparent scotch type tape is easier to work with since it is possible to see where you're cutting.

See the discussion page for more.

=== Modifying the BIOS ===

{{WARN|It is dangerous to mess with your BIOS, you can easily make your machine unbootable. Proceed with caution!}}

{{NOTE|On the {{R32}}, {{T43}}, {{X41}}, {{X60}}, {{W500}}, {{X230}} and probably others, the BIOS hacks and the "no-1802" utility don't work.}}

See the table below for links to modified BIOS images with the whitelist disabled. Information on making this BIOS modification for newer ThinkPads can be found [http://www.endeer.cz/bios.tools/bios.html here].

Alternatively, you may can modify the whitelist to include the PCI-ID of the card you wish to use. The complete instructions for this procedure are [http://www.paul.sladen.org/thinkpad-r31/wifi-card-pci-ids.html here].

* You can try googling for your model number + "whitelist removal", there are lots of pre-hacked BIOSes out there.

* You can use the [[Problem with error 01C9 - More than one Ethernet devices | no-1802 and no-01C9 Linux Live CD]] without applying the no-01C9 patch. It is very convenient to use and based on the C code below.

* You can use the DOS [http://jcnp.pku.edu.cn/~shadow/1802/no-1802.com no-1802] utility, written by Tisheng Chen.{{footnote|2}} It will set a certain bit in the CMOS memory which disables the whitelist check, but it has been reported not to work on the latest machines, such as the T43 and X41

* You can compile and run (as root) the following C-code, which was written by Matthew Garrett. It was based on the code written by Vojtech Pavlik, which in turn was based on the assembly used in the no-1802 program. {{footnote|3}}

<code>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int main(void)
{
int fd;
unsigned char data;

fd = open("/dev/nvram", O_RDWR);
if (fd==-1) {
printf("Opening /dev/nvram failed\n");
return 1;
}
printf("Disabling WiFi whitelist check.\n");

/* BIG INFORMATIONAL WARNING */
/* The linux nvram driver doesn't give access to the first 14 bytes of
the CMOS. As a result, we seek to 0x5c rather than 0x6a. If you're
implementing this under another OS, then you'll have to go to whichever
address is appropriate for your access method */

lseek(fd, 0x5c, SEEK_SET);
read(fd, &data, 1);
printf("CMOS address 0x5c: %02x->", data);
data |= 0x80;
printf("%02x\n", data);
lseek(fd, 0x5c, SEEK_SET);
if (write(fd, &data, 1)<0) {
printf("Unable to write to /dev/nvram - hack failed\n");
close(fd);
return 2;
}
close(fd);
printf("Done.\n");
return 0;
}

==Problem with WiFi LED==
After getting an unauthorized card to work, you may notice that the WiFi LED found on the ThinkPad is not working. This doesn't happen with all unauthorized cards. The general cause for this is the fact that the MiniPCI standard leaves the implementation of the LED signals available on the MiniPCI connector to the card vendors. Therefore some newer WiFi cards use one of the signals originally meant for LEDs to implement the "radio kill" switch input. As a result, the LED doesn't get proper signals and fails.

====Details====
The WiFi LED found in ThinkPads is connected to following pins on the MiniPCI connector.

|-style="background: white;"
|13
|LED1_GRNN
|WiFi active LED - (older cards) / RF Silent input (newer cards)
|}
Note: The descriptions are specific to this article.

If your LED is not working, the problem could be the pin 13. Newer cards may no longer provide the necessary negative signal there to drive the LED. Before you apply any fixes, be sure to check the voltage between pin 11 and ground (can be found for example on the MiniPCI latch arms) - it should give you about 3.3V while the WiFi is active and 0V otherwise. The voltage between pin 13 and ground should measure about 2.5V. The notebook has to be running while you perform the tests so be extremely careful. All the mentioned pins are on the upper side so it's quite easy to get to them with a multimeter. If all the voltages match, your LED is fixable.

[http://www.interfacebus.com/MiniPCI_Pinout_124Pin.html MiniPCI Pinout]

====Solution====
The solution is to connect the ground (GND) to the pin 13. However, since the new ''RF Silent input'' signal is active low, grounding the card side will tell it to turn itself off. Therefore, we have to separate pin 13 of the card from the system board and connect ground to the system board side only.

There are many ways to accomplish this. One which doesn't require any soldering is to mask pin 13 on the card with a cellophane tape and use about 3cm of thin wire to connect pin 13 of the connector to the ground. Place one end of the wire on the masked pad and insert the card into the slot. Check if the wire is centered on the pad and try pulling it (but not too hard) to see if it holds. If it comes out easily, pull the card out and repeat. If you successfully attach it, you have to connect the other end to the ground. The best place is the left MiniPCI latch arm. Bend it outside and insert the wire into the small gap between the two pieces of metal the arm is made from. Finally, make sure that the wire doesn't touch anything else and doesn't stand out too much, it must not touch the touchpad electronics when you put the palmrest back on. If in doubt, cover the wire with some insulator.

{{WARN|Do this fix ONLY if you know exactly what you are doing and at your own risk! If you're not sure about any part, don't even try it or you may damage your WiFi card and/or brick your laptop. You have been warned.}}

{{NOTE|If your card is not listed in the table below, your WiFi LED may not work for some other reason. Therefore, make sure you understood the problem described here and made all the measurements carefully. This way you will know if this apply to your card and if it can be fixed this way. Otherwise, if you're skilled enough, please try to find out why your LED doesn't work and contribute to this article.}}

Problem with unauthorized MiniPCI network card

2014-05-05T20:35:11Z

Siemer: /* Use the spare slot */

== Problem description ==

The ThinkPad BIOS only allows to boot with an "authorized" adapter installed. If an unsupported card is detected, the BIOS prints a message on the screen and stops the system:

1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in - Power off and remove the miniPCI network card.

The card's sub-vendor PCI-ID (which can be seen using ''lspci -v'') is checked against a [[Wikipedia:Whitelist|whitelist]] in the BIOS. IBM/Lenovo's reasoning for this is that the combination of MiniPCI card and the integrated antenna in the ThinkPad needs to be certified by the US FCC (Federal Communications Commission).{{footnote|1}} or similar agencies in other countries.

== Solutions ==

{{NOTE|Any of the following solutions should suffice to make the wireless card useable. You only need to perform one of them.}}

It may be possible to use the computer with the unauthorized card deactivated (but not removed). Press {{key|F1}} to enter the BIOS and deactivate the WLAN card, then attempt to boot with the card disabled. This does not make the wireless card work, but it may allow you to boot the computer normally.

=== Modifying the card's ID ===

A safer and better method than modifying the BIOS is modifying the PCI-ID of the wlan card to match the authorized one:

# You'll risk the wireless card instead of the motherboard.
# Future BIOS updates will not create any problems.
# No problem with newer laptops with different BIOS; the only reqirement is to find an ID that is already listed in the BIOS, which can be easily achieved if the community maintaina a compatibility table.

The instructions are [http://www.dagarlas.org/stuff/computing/article0001.php here] (link down, 2011/05/14 - archive.org mirror [http://web.archive.org/web/20071016063645/http://www.dagarlas.org/stuff/computing/article0001.php here], second mirror [http://www.broken.com/mirror/thinkpad here]). This page is for Atheros-based cards and HP notebooks, but it applies to Thinkpads as well. It also has links on how to edit the PCI-ID on Intel Pro Wireless cards. Instruction for intel 2200/2915 cards are [http://stachon.webpark.cz/ipw-eeprom.html here] or [http://fx.cz/sklad/intel/ here] or [http://www.thinkpad-forum.de/thinkpad-hardware/zubeh%C3%B6r/44192-tutorial-nicht-ibm-wlan-karte-2200-2915-im-thinkpad/ here] (in German). The second one is much simpler because it provides an already patched and compiled ipw2200 driver required to do the job.
{{NOTE|On Linux-based distributions, the driver is loaded based on the PCI-ID. Keep this in mind when "faking" other models. }}

{{NOTE|Modifying your PCI-ID will require either a laptop without a BIOS lock or a PCI adapter for your desktop. Also, this procedure can render your card useless, but that's better than bricking your laptop.}}

{{NOTE| According to the information found from the links above the authors suggest a change in the network card memory (ethtool -E ethX magic 0x2200 offset 0x8 value 0x12). However, this doesn't work on my Thinkpad X40. Further modifications were needed to eliminate the 1802 error. The value of the first register inside the memory of the PCI card should be modified to read:

<code>
Offset: 0x0000
Values: 02 a5 00 80 20 42 86 80 12 27 86 80 18 00 01 03
</code>

one [http://fx.cz/sklad/intel/ source] suggest that one more value should be modified:

<code>
offset 0xa8 value 0xf9
</code>

although it might not be necessary.}}

=== Use another MiniPCI (express) slot ===

On models with multiple MiniPCI (express) slots, the BIOS checks only the “WiFi-slot” for unauthorized WiFi cards. A neighboring WWAN slot is allowed to hold such a card. But there might be a catch: the WWAN slot’s “disable radio” signal could be active, so that the card will refuse from using the radio. The operating system can see this condition: on Linux it is reported as “hard blocked” by rfkill. (This actually depends on the driver: “b43” does notice and reports it via the rfkill interface.)

Combinations that work in the WWAN slot without further tweaking:
* Lenovo Y530 / Intel 4965AGN
* X61t (7762-94G) / Atheros 5008X scavenged from a MacBook Pro

On MiniPCI express(!) slots, pin 20 is used as the first “disable radio” signal, as implemented by common WiFi cards. Isolating pin 20 in the slot from the card will leave the signal dangling, which means “disable radio” is inactive: i.e. “radio on”. If necessary, the pin on the card can be taped over with film or painted over with nail polish to block electrical connection. Pin #20 is located on the underside of the miniPCI Express board, second pin from the notch, on the side with more pins. Here is [http://pinoutsguide.com/Slots/mini_pcie_pinout.shtml detailed MiniPCIe pinout]. Combinations reported to work this way:
* Thinkpad X61s / Intel Wifi link 4965agn
* Thinkpad X61 / Intel 3945abg (bulk)
* Thinkpad X200 / Intel 5300
* Thinkpad T60p (widescreen) / Sierra MC8781

Questions still open:
* can the signal be deactivated otherwise?
* do WWAN cards have such a signal? Is it on another pin (“second disable radio” pin is defined for mPCIe since at least 2010)?
* as the card (usually) drives an LED to reflect it’s state, can that signal be routed to the WWAN or WiFi LED?

Taping over any Mini PCI-e pin is a delicate exercise in patience, the connectors are less than the width of most ball point pens and even smaller than fine wires. Transparent scotch type tape is easier to work with since it is possible to see where you're cutting but it's effectiveness in blocking the connection is debatable.

See the discussion page for picture and more.

=== Modifying the BIOS ===

{{WARN|It is dangerous to mess with your BIOS, you can easily make your machine unbootable. Proceed with caution!}}

{{NOTE|On the {{R32}}, {{T43}}, {{X41}}, {{X60}}, {{W500}}, {{X230}} and probably others, the BIOS hacks and the "no-1802" utility don't work.}}

See the table below for links to modified BIOS images with the whitelist disabled. Information on making this BIOS modification for newer ThinkPads can be found [http://www.endeer.cz/bios.tools/bios.html here].

Alternatively, you may can modify the whitelist to include the PCI-ID of the card you wish to use. The complete instructions for this procedure are [http://www.paul.sladen.org/thinkpad-r31/wifi-card-pci-ids.html here].

* You can try googling for your model number + "whitelist removal", there are lots of pre-hacked BIOSes out there.

* You can use the [[Problem with error 01C9 - More than one Ethernet devices | no-1802 and no-01C9 Linux Live CD]] without applying the no-01C9 patch. It is very convenient to use and based on the C code below.

* You can use the DOS [http://jcnp.pku.edu.cn/~shadow/1802/no-1802.com no-1802] utility, written by Tisheng Chen.{{footnote|2}} It will set a certain bit in the CMOS memory which disables the whitelist check, but it has been reported not to work on the latest machines, such as the T43 and X41

* You can compile and run (as root) the following C-code, which was written by Matthew Garrett. It was based on the code written by Vojtech Pavlik, which in turn was based on the assembly used in the no-1802 program. {{footnote|3}}

<code>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int main(void)
{
int fd;
unsigned char data;

fd = open("/dev/nvram", O_RDWR);
if (fd==-1) {
printf("Opening /dev/nvram failed\n");
return 1;
}
printf("Disabling WiFi whitelist check.\n");

/* BIG INFORMATIONAL WARNING */
/* The linux nvram driver doesn't give access to the first 14 bytes of
the CMOS. As a result, we seek to 0x5c rather than 0x6a. If you're
implementing this under another OS, then you'll have to go to whichever
address is appropriate for your access method */

lseek(fd, 0x5c, SEEK_SET);
read(fd, &data, 1);
printf("CMOS address 0x5c: %02x->", data);
data |= 0x80;
printf("%02x\n", data);
lseek(fd, 0x5c, SEEK_SET);
if (write(fd, &data, 1)<0) {
printf("Unable to write to /dev/nvram - hack failed\n");
close(fd);
return 2;
}
close(fd);
printf("Done.\n");
return 0;
}

==Problem with WiFi LED==
After getting an unauthorized card to work, you may notice that the WiFi LED found on the ThinkPad is not working. This doesn't happen with all unauthorized cards. The general cause for this is the fact that the MiniPCI standard leaves the implementation of the LED signals available on the MiniPCI connector to the card vendors. Therefore some newer WiFi cards use one of the signals originally meant for LEDs to implement the "radio kill" switch input. As a result, the LED doesn't get proper signals and fails.

====Details====
The WiFi LED found in ThinkPads is connected to following pins on the MiniPCI connector.
{| align="center" cellpadding="2" width="100%" style="border:1px; background:grey;"

|-style="background: white;"
|13
|LED1_GRNN
|WiFi active LED - (older cards) / RF Silent input (newer cards)
|}
Note: The descriptions are specific to this article.

If your LED is not working, the problem could be the pin 13. Newer cards may no longer provide the necessary negative signal there to drive the LED. Before you apply any fixes, be sure to check the voltage between pin 11 and ground (can be found for example on the MiniPCI latch arms) - it should give you about 3.3V while the WiFi is active and 0V otherwise. The voltage between pin 13 and ground should measure about 2.5V. The notebook has to be running while you perform the tests so be extremely careful. All the mentioned pins are on the upper side so it's quite easy to get to them with a multimeter. If all the voltages match, your LED is fixable.

Reference:<br>

[http://www.interfacebus.com/MiniPCI_Pinout_124Pin.html MiniPCI Pinout]

====Solution====
The solution is to connect the ground (GND) to the pin 13. However, since the new ''RF Silent input'' signal is active low, grounding the card side will tell it to turn itself off. Therefore, we have to separate pin 13 of the card from the system board and connect ground to the system board side only.

There are many ways to accomplish this. One which doesn't require any soldering is to mask pin 13 on the card with a cellophane tape and use about 3cm of thin wire to connect pin 13 of the connector to the ground. Place one end of the wire on the masked pad and insert the card into the slot. Check if the wire is centered on the pad and try pulling it (but not too hard) to see if it holds. If it comes out easily, pull the card out and repeat. If you successfully attach it, you have to connect the other end to the ground. The best place is the left MiniPCI latch arm. Bend it outside and insert the wire into the small gap between the two pieces of metal the arm is made from. Finally, make sure that the wire doesn't touch anything else and doesn't stand out too much, it must not touch the touchpad electronics when you put the palmrest back on. If in doubt, cover the wire with some insulator.

{{WARN|Do this fix ONLY if you know exactly what you are doing and at your own risk! If you're not sure about any part, don't even try it or you may damage your WiFi card and/or brick your laptop. You have been warned.}}

{{NOTE|If your card is not listed in the table below, your WiFi LED may not work for some other reason. Therefore, make sure you understood the problem described here and made all the measurements carefully. This way you will know if this apply to your card and if it can be fixed this way. Otherwise, if you're skilled enough, please try to find out why your LED doesn't work and contribute to this article.}}

Problem with unauthorized MiniPCI network card

2014-05-05T19:50:32Z

Siemer: /* Affected models */

== Problem description ==

The ThinkPad BIOS only allows to boot with an "authorized" adapter installed. If an unsupported card is detected, the BIOS prints a message on the screen and stops the system:

1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in - Power off and remove the miniPCI network card.

The card's sub-vendor PCI-ID (which can be seen using ''lspci -v'') is checked against a [[Wikipedia:Whitelist|whitelist]] in the BIOS. IBM/Lenovo's reasoning for this is that the combination of MiniPCI card and the integrated antenna in the ThinkPad needs to be certified by the US FCC (Federal Communications Commission).{{footnote|1}} or similar agencies in other countries.

== Solutions ==

{{NOTE|Any of the following solutions should suffice to make the wireless card useable. You only need to perform one of them.}}

It may be possible to use the computer with the unauthorized card deactivated (but not removed). Press {{key|F1}} to enter the BIOS and deactivate the WLAN card, then attempt to boot with the card disabled. This does not make the wireless card work, but it may allow you to boot the computer normally.

=== Modifying the card's ID ===

A safer and better method than modifying the BIOS is modifying the PCI-ID of the wlan card to match the authorized one:

# You'll risk the wireless card instead of the motherboard.
# Future BIOS updates will not create any problems.
# No problem with newer laptops with different BIOS; the only reqirement is to find an ID that is already listed in the BIOS, which can be easily achieved if the community maintaina a compatibility table.

This page is for Atheros-based cards and HP notebooks, but it applies to Thinkpads as well. It also has links on how to edit the PCI-ID on Intel Pro Wireless cards. Instruction for intel 2200/2915 cards are [http://stachon.webpark.cz/ipw-eeprom.html here] or [http://fx.cz/sklad/intel/ here] or [http://www.thinkpad-forum.de/thinkpad-hardware/zubeh%C3%B6r/44192-tutorial-nicht-ibm-wlan-karte-2200-2915-im-thinkpad/ here] (in German). The second one is much simpler because it provides an already patched and compiled ipw2200 driver required to do the job.
{{NOTE|On Linux-based distributions, the driver is loaded based on the PCI-ID. Keep this in mind when "faking" other models. }}

{{NOTE|Modifying your PCI-ID will require either a laptop without a BIOS lock or a PCI adapter for your desktop. Also, this procedure can render your card useless, but that's better than bricking your laptop.}}

{{NOTE| According to the information found from the links above the authors suggest a change in the network card memory (ethtool -E ethX magic 0x2200 offset 0x8 value 0x12). However, this doesn't work on my Thinkpad X40. Further modifications were needed to eliminate the 1802 error. The value of the first register inside the memory of the PCI card should be modified to read:

<code>
Offset: 0x0000
Values: 02 a5 00 80 20 42 86 80 12 27 86 80 18 00 01 03
</code>

one [http://fx.cz/sklad/intel/ source] suggest that one more value should be modified:

<code>
offset 0xa8 value 0xf9
</code>

although it might not be necessary.}}

=== Use the spare slot ===

Another safer method: you can plug the wireless card into the spare WWAN slot (the second miniPCI express slot) with pin-20 taped over. It has been tested on a Thinkpad X61s and a non-IBM (unauthorized) Intel Wifi link 4965agn card, originally it gave a 1802 error, but using this trick it boots up and works without any apparent problem-- it essentially hides the card from the test in the bios, but the WWAN slot still gives the card access to the proper PCI bus, with no need to modify the computer or card. Pin #20 is located on the underside of the miniPCI Express board, second pin from the notch, on the side with more pins. Here is [http://pinoutsguide.com/Slots/mini_pcie_pinout.shtml detailed MiniPCIe pinout]. Combinations reported to work:
* Thinkpad X61s / Intel Wifi link 4965agn
* Thinkpad X61 / Intel 3945abg (bulk)
* Thinkpad X200 / Intel 5300
* Thinkpad T60p (widescreen) / Sierra MC8781

* On the Lenovo Y530 with an Intel 4965AGN, moving the card to the second miniPCI slot was sufficient. There was no need to tape any pins. Also with an X61t (7762-94G), an Atheros 5008X scavenged from a MacBook Pro, worked flawless (ok, without hardware switch and WLAN status LED) in the WWAN slot w/out taping.

* On the X61s (and probably others), if you tape pin 20 from the card, it works if plugged into the second (WWAN) mini-PCIE-slot.

Taping over any Mini PCI-e pin is a delicate exercise in patience, the connectors are less than the width of most ball point pens and even smaller than fine wires. Transparent scotch type tape is easier to work with since it is possible to see where you're cutting but it's effectiveness in blocking the connection is debatable. (see embedded pic under discussion page)

See the discussion page for other reports.

=== Modifying the BIOS ===

{{WARN|It is dangerous to mess with your BIOS, you can easily make your machine unbootable. Proceed with caution!}}

{{NOTE|On the {{R32}}, {{T43}}, {{X41}}, {{X60}}, {{W500}}, {{X230}} and probably others, the BIOS hacks and the "no-1802" utility don't work.}}

See the table below for links to modified BIOS images with the whitelist disabled. Information on making this BIOS modification for newer ThinkPads can be found [http://www.endeer.cz/bios.tools/bios.html here].

Alternatively, you may can modify the whitelist to include the PCI-ID of the card you wish to use. The complete instructions for this procedure are [http://www.paul.sladen.org/thinkpad-r31/wifi-card-pci-ids.html here].

* You can try googling for your model number + "whitelist removal", there are lots of pre-hacked BIOSes out there.

* You can use the [[Problem with error 01C9 - More than one Ethernet devices | no-1802 and no-01C9 Linux Live CD]] without applying the no-01C9 patch. It is very convenient to use and based on the C code below.

* You can use the DOS [http://jcnp.pku.edu.cn/~shadow/1802/no-1802.com no-1802] utility, written by Tisheng Chen.{{footnote|2}} It will set a certain bit in the CMOS memory which disables the whitelist check, but it has been reported not to work on the latest machines, such as the T43 and X41

* You can compile and run (as root) the following C-code, which was written by Matthew Garrett. It was based on the code written by Vojtech Pavlik, which in turn was based on the assembly used in the no-1802 program. {{footnote|3}}

<code>

unsigned char data;

fd = open("/dev/nvram", O_RDWR);
if (fd==-1) {
printf("Opening /dev/nvram failed\n");
return 1;
}
printf("Disabling WiFi whitelist check.\n");

/* BIG INFORMATIONAL WARNING */
/* The linux nvram driver doesn't give access to the first 14 bytes of
the CMOS. As a result, we seek to 0x5c rather than 0x6a. If you're
implementing this under another OS, then you'll have to go to whichever
address is appropriate for your access method */

lseek(fd, 0x5c, SEEK_SET);
read(fd, &data, 1);
printf("CMOS address 0x5c: %02x->", data);
data |= 0x80;
printf("%02x\n", data);
lseek(fd, 0x5c, SEEK_SET);
if (write(fd, &data, 1)<0) {
printf("Unable to write to /dev/nvram - hack failed\n");
close(fd);
return 2;
}
close(fd);
printf("Done.\n");
return 0;
}

==Problem with WiFi LED==
After getting an unauthorized card to work, you may notice that the WiFi LED found on the ThinkPad is not working. This doesn't happen with all unauthorized cards. The general cause for this is the fact that the MiniPCI standard leaves the implementation of the LED signals available on the MiniPCI connector to the card vendors. Therefore some newer WiFi cards use one of the signals originally meant for LEDs to implement the "radio kill" switch input. As a result, the LED doesn't get proper signals and fails.

====Details====
The WiFi LED found in ThinkPads is connected to following pins on the MiniPCI connector.

|-style="background: white;"
|13
|LED1_GRNN
|WiFi active LED - (older cards) / RF Silent input (newer cards)
|}
Note: The descriptions are specific to this article.

If your LED is not working, the problem could be the pin 13. Newer cards may no longer provide the necessary negative signal there to drive the LED. Before you apply any fixes, be sure to check the voltage between pin 11 and ground (can be found for example on the MiniPCI latch arms) - it should give you about 3.3V while the WiFi is active and 0V otherwise. The voltage between pin 13 and ground should measure about 2.5V. The notebook has to be running while you perform the tests so be extremely careful. All the mentioned pins are on the upper side so it's quite easy to get to them with a multimeter. If all the voltages match, your LED is fixable.

[http://www.interfacebus.com/MiniPCI_Pinout_124Pin.html MiniPCI Pinout]

====Solution====
The solution is to connect the ground (GND) to the pin 13. However, since the new ''RF Silent input'' signal is active low, grounding the card side will tell it to turn itself off. Therefore, we have to separate pin 13 of the card from the system board and connect ground to the system board side only.

There are many ways to accomplish this. One which doesn't require any soldering is to mask pin 13 on the card with a cellophane tape and use about 3cm of thin wire to connect pin 13 of the connector to the ground. Place one end of the wire on the masked pad and insert the card into the slot. Check if the wire is centered on the pad and try pulling it (but not too hard) to see if it holds. If it comes out easily, pull the card out and repeat. If you successfully attach it, you have to connect the other end to the ground. The best place is the left MiniPCI latch arm. Bend it outside and insert the wire into the small gap between the two pieces of metal the arm is made from. Finally, make sure that the wire doesn't touch anything else and doesn't stand out too much, it must not touch the touchpad electronics when you put the palmrest back on. If in doubt, cover the wire with some insulator.

{{WARN|Do this fix ONLY if you know exactly what you are doing and at your own risk! If you're not sure about any part, don't even try it or you may damage your WiFi card and/or brick your laptop. You have been warned.}}

{{NOTE|If your card is not listed in the table below, your WiFi LED may not work for some other reason. Therefore, make sure you understood the problem described here and made all the measurements carefully. This way you will know if this apply to your card and if it can be fixed this way. Otherwise, if you're skilled enough, please try to find out why your LED doesn't work and contribute to this article.}}

Problem with unauthorized MiniPCI network card

2014-05-05T19:48:00Z

Siemer: /* Problem description */

== Problem description ==

The ThinkPad BIOS only allows to boot with an "authorized" adapter installed. If an unsupported card is detected, the BIOS prints a message on the screen and stops the system:

1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in - Power off and remove the miniPCI network card.

The card's sub-vendor PCI-ID (which can be seen using ''lspci -v'') is checked against a [[Wikipedia:Whitelist|whitelist]] in the BIOS. IBM/Lenovo's reasoning for this is that the combination of MiniPCI card and the integrated antenna in the ThinkPad needs to be certified by the US FCC (Federal Communications Commission).{{footnote|1}} or similar agencies in other countries.

== Affected models ==

All machines with integrated WiFi, or machines with WiFi added. The problem is in the BIOS.

== Solutions ==

{{NOTE|Any of the following solutions should suffice to make the wireless card useable. You only need to perform one of them.}}

It may be possible to use the computer with the unauthorized card deactivated (but not removed). Press {{key|F1}} to enter the BIOS and deactivate the WLAN card, then attempt to boot with the card disabled. This does not make the wireless card work, but it may allow you to boot the computer normally.

=== Modifying the card's ID ===

A safer and better method than modifying the BIOS is modifying the PCI-ID of the wlan card to match the authorized one:

# You'll risk the wireless card instead of the motherboard.
# Future BIOS updates will not create any problems.
# No problem with newer laptops with different BIOS; the only reqirement is to find an ID that is already listed in the BIOS, which can be easily achieved if the community maintaina a compatibility table.

Instruction for intel 2200/2915 cards are [http://stachon.webpark.cz/ipw-eeprom.html here] or [http://fx.cz/sklad/intel/ here] or [http://www.thinkpad-forum.de/thinkpad-hardware/zubeh%C3%B6r/44192-tutorial-nicht-ibm-wlan-karte-2200-2915-im-thinkpad/ here] (in German). The second one is much simpler because it provides an already patched and compiled ipw2200 driver required to do the job.
{{NOTE|On Linux-based distributions, the driver is loaded based on the PCI-ID. Keep this in mind when "faking" other models. }}

{{NOTE|Modifying your PCI-ID will require either a laptop without a BIOS lock or a PCI adapter for your desktop. Also, this procedure can render your card useless, but that's better than bricking your laptop.}}

{{NOTE| According to the information found from the links above the authors suggest a change in the network card memory (ethtool -E ethX magic 0x2200 offset 0x8 value 0x12). However, this doesn't work on my Thinkpad X40. Further modifications were needed to eliminate the 1802 error. The value of the first register inside the memory of the PCI card should be modified to read:

<code>
Offset: 0x0000
Values: 02 a5 00 80 20 42 86 80 12 27 86 80 18 00 01 03
</code>

one [http://fx.cz/sklad/intel/ source] suggest that one more value should be modified:

<code>
offset 0xa8 value 0xf9
</code>

although it might not be necessary.}}

=== Use the spare slot ===

Another safer method: you can plug the wireless card into the spare WWAN slot (the second miniPCI express slot) with pin-20 taped over. It has been tested on a Thinkpad X61s and a non-IBM (unauthorized) Intel Wifi link 4965agn card, originally it gave a 1802 error, but using this trick it boots up and works without any apparent problem-- it essentially hides the card from the test in the bios, but the WWAN slot still gives the card access to the proper PCI bus, with no need to modify the computer or card. Pin #20 is located on the underside of the miniPCI Express board, second pin from the notch, on the side with more pins. Here is [http://pinoutsguide.com/Slots/mini_pcie_pinout.shtml detailed MiniPCIe pinout]. Combinations reported to work:
* Thinkpad X61s / Intel Wifi link 4965agn
* Thinkpad X61 / Intel 3945abg (bulk)
* Thinkpad X200 / Intel 5300
* Thinkpad T60p (widescreen) / Sierra MC8781

* On the Lenovo Y530 with an Intel 4965AGN, moving the card to the second miniPCI slot was sufficient. There was no need to tape any pins. Also with an X61t (7762-94G), an Atheros 5008X scavenged from a MacBook Pro, worked flawless (ok, without hardware switch and WLAN status LED) in the WWAN slot w/out taping.

* On the X61s (and probably others), if you tape pin 20 from the card, it works if plugged into the second (WWAN) mini-PCIE-slot.

Taping over any Mini PCI-e pin is a delicate exercise in patience, the connectors are less than the width of most ball point pens and even smaller than fine wires. Transparent scotch type tape is easier to work with since it is possible to see where you're cutting but it's effectiveness in blocking the connection is debatable. (see embedded pic under discussion page)

See the discussion page for other reports.

=== Modifying the BIOS ===

{{WARN|It is dangerous to mess with your BIOS, you can easily make your machine unbootable. Proceed with caution!}}

{{NOTE|On the {{R32}}, {{T43}}, {{X41}}, {{X60}}, {{W500}}, {{X230}} and probably others, the BIOS hacks and the "no-1802" utility don't work.}}

See the table below for links to modified BIOS images with the whitelist disabled. Information on making this BIOS modification for newer ThinkPads can be found [http://www.endeer.cz/bios.tools/bios.html here].

Alternatively, you may can modify the whitelist to include the PCI-ID of the card you wish to use. The complete instructions for this procedure are [http://www.paul.sladen.org/thinkpad-r31/wifi-card-pci-ids.html here].

* You can try googling for your model number + "whitelist removal", there are lots of pre-hacked BIOSes out there.

* You can use the [[Problem with error 01C9 - More than one Ethernet devices | no-1802 and no-01C9 Linux Live CD]] without applying the no-01C9 patch. It is very convenient to use and based on the C code below.

* You can use the DOS [http://jcnp.pku.edu.cn/~shadow/1802/no-1802.com no-1802] utility, written by Tisheng Chen.{{footnote|2}} It will set a certain bit in the CMOS memory which disables the whitelist check, but it has been reported not to work on the latest machines, such as the T43 and X41

* You can compile and run (as root) the following C-code, which was written by Matthew Garrett. It was based on the code written by Vojtech Pavlik, which in turn was based on the assembly used in the no-1802 program. {{footnote|3}}

unsigned char data;

fd = open("/dev/nvram", O_RDWR);
if (fd==-1) {
printf("Opening /dev/nvram failed\n");
return 1;
}
printf("Disabling WiFi whitelist check.\n");

/* BIG INFORMATIONAL WARNING */
/* The linux nvram driver doesn't give access to the first 14 bytes of
the CMOS. As a result, we seek to 0x5c rather than 0x6a. If you're
implementing this under another OS, then you'll have to go to whichever
address is appropriate for your access method */

lseek(fd, 0x5c, SEEK_SET);
read(fd, &data, 1);
printf("CMOS address 0x5c: %02x->", data);
data |= 0x80;
printf("%02x\n", data);
lseek(fd, 0x5c, SEEK_SET);
if (write(fd, &data, 1)<0) {
printf("Unable to write to /dev/nvram - hack failed\n");
close(fd);
return 2;
}
close(fd);
printf("Done.\n");
return 0;
}

==Problem with WiFi LED==
After getting an unauthorized card to work, you may notice that the WiFi LED found on the ThinkPad is not working. This doesn't happen with all unauthorized cards. The general cause for this is the fact that the MiniPCI standard leaves the implementation of the LED signals available on the MiniPCI connector to the card vendors. Therefore some newer WiFi cards use one of the signals originally meant for LEDs to implement the "radio kill" switch input. As a result, the LED doesn't get proper signals and fails.

====Details====
The WiFi LED found in ThinkPads is connected to following pins on the MiniPCI connector.

|WiFi active LED +
|-style="background: white;"
|13
|LED1_GRNN
|WiFi active LED - (older cards) / RF Silent input (newer cards)
|}
Note: The descriptions are specific to this article.

If your LED is not working, the problem could be the pin 13. Newer cards may no longer provide the necessary negative signal there to drive the LED. Before you apply any fixes, be sure to check the voltage between pin 11 and ground (can be found for example on the MiniPCI latch arms) - it should give you about 3.3V while the WiFi is active and 0V otherwise. The voltage between pin 13 and ground should measure about 2.5V. The notebook has to be running while you perform the tests so be extremely careful. All the mentioned pins are on the upper side so it's quite easy to get to them with a multimeter. If all the voltages match, your LED is fixable.

Reference:<br>
[http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802/specs/mpci10.pdf MiniPCI Specification] (PDF, 724KB)<br>
[http://www.interfacebus.com/MiniPCI_Pinout_124Pin.html MiniPCI Pinout]

====Solution====
The solution is to connect the ground (GND) to the pin 13. However, since the new ''RF Silent input'' signal is active low, grounding the card side will tell it to turn itself off. Therefore, we have to separate pin 13 of the card from the system board and connect ground to the system board side only.

There are many ways to accomplish this. One which doesn't require any soldering is to mask pin 13 on the card with a cellophane tape and use about 3cm of thin wire to connect pin 13 of the connector to the ground. Place one end of the wire on the masked pad and insert the card into the slot. Check if the wire is centered on the pad and try pulling it (but not too hard) to see if it holds. If it comes out easily, pull the card out and repeat. If you successfully attach it, you have to connect the other end to the ground. The best place is the left MiniPCI latch arm. Bend it outside and insert the wire into the small gap between the two pieces of metal the arm is made from. Finally, make sure that the wire doesn't touch anything else and doesn't stand out too much, it must not touch the touchpad electronics when you put the palmrest back on. If in doubt, cover the wire with some insulator.

{{WARN|Do this fix ONLY if you know exactly what you are doing and at your own risk! If you're not sure about any part, don't even try it or you may damage your WiFi card and/or brick your laptop. You have been warned.}}

{{NOTE|If your card is not listed in the table below, your WiFi LED may not work for some other reason. Therefore, make sure you understood the problem described here and made all the measurements carefully. This way you will know if this apply to your card and if it can be fixed this way. Otherwise, if you're skilled enough, please try to find out why your LED doesn't work and contribute to this article.}}

=== The Integrated camera ===
Almost all recent ThinkPads have an integrated camera above the display. This camera (typically called a webcam) is USB attached. On some earlier ThinkPads a proprietary camera was used, but later models use a standard UVC camera which is supported by the [http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ uvcvideo driver].
</div>
|}

Because of their location above the display the cameras all share a long and thin board layout. But the exact shape varies. Often several models share the exact same form factor, but with different resolutions. DIY upgraders can sometimes use higher resolution cameras from later models or cheaper camera modules from earlier’s.

Also their connector varies. The 4pin connector usually carries two USB data lines and two lines 3.3V power.

==ThinkPads (not) prepared to carry a camera module==

For the X-series, the X60, X61, their -s models and tablets, coming out in 2006 and 2007 were not prepared for a camera module yet.

The W-series, being a relatively young line, has only models ready for cameras.

For other series, please edit to reflect when cameras became available.

Bluetooth Daughter Card (14 pins)

2014-05-04T18:15:17Z

Siemer: /* Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR */

__NOTOC__

The 14 pin Bluetooth Daughter Cards (BDC) are USB Bluetooth Adapters that are installed in a proprietary BDC socket. The connection probably carries usb, power, led and enable signal. The antenna is printed on the PCB. The location varies by model (within the screen, under the palm rest area, etc.); refer to the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the location of the BDC.

Very likely, '''all BDCs can be interchanged, allowing newer Bluetooth adapters to be installed in older ThinkPads.''' The Bluetooth 4.0 module has specifically been seen advertised like that by dealers and photos of different modules reveal no mechanical incompatibility. – Nevertheless do some Hardware Maintenance Manuals require using an M2 screw for one BDC and an M2.5 screw for another.

=== Details ===

When Bluetooth is enabled, the Bluetooth-logo LED will light up and executing {{cmdroot|lsusb}} will show an entry mentioning "Broadcom".

On recent ThinkPads the Wireless killswitch disables both WiFi and Bluetooth (verified on a ThinkPad Z60m, Z61t, T60, T61 and X61).

==ThinkPads without BDC socket==

Not every Bluetooth comes via 14 pin Bluetooth Daughter Card. The {{X130e}}, {{X140e}} and the {{X240}} for example use combined WiFi/Bluetooth mini-PCIe cards instead. Older devices use the [[CDC slot|Communication Daughter Card slot]] to provide Bluetooth.

Integrated camera

2014-05-04T18:13:26Z

Siemer: /* Video interface controllers */

=== The Integrated camera ===
Almost all recent ThinkPads have an integrated camera above the display. This camera (typically called a webcam) is USB attached. On some earlier ThinkPads a proprietary camera was used, but later models use a standard UVC camera which is supported by the [http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ uvcvideo driver].
</div>
|}

Because of their location above the display the cameras all share a long and thin board layout. But the exact shape varies. Often several models share the exact same form factor, but with different resolutions. DIY upgraders can sometimes use higher resolution cameras from later models or cheaper camera modules from earlier’s.

Also their connector varies. The 4pin connector usually carries two USB data lines and two lines 3.3V power.

Bluetooth Daughter Card (14 pins)

2014-05-03T12:58:05Z

Siemer: /* Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR */

__NOTOC__

The 14 pin Bluetooth Daughter Cards (BDC) are USB Bluetooth Adapters that are installed in a proprietary BDC socket. The connection probably carries usb, power, led and enable signal. The antenna is printed on the PCB. The location varies by model (within the screen, under the palm rest area, etc.); refer to the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the location of the BDC.

Very likely, '''all BDCs can be interchanged, allowing newer Bluetooth adapters to be installed in older ThinkPads.''' The Bluetooth 4.0 module has specifically been seen advertised like that by dealers and photos of different modules reveal no mechanical incompatibility. – Nevertheless do some Hardware Maintenance Manuals require using an M2 screw for one BDC and an M2.5 screw for another.

Integrated camera

2014-05-03T12:54:40Z

Siemer: /* 2 diagonally placed screw holes, one of them in the middle of the board, 4 pin connector */

=== The Integrated camera ===
Almost all recent ThinkPads have an integrated camera above the display. This camera (typically called a webcam) is USB attached. On some earlier ThinkPads a proprietary camera was used, but later models use a standard UVC camera which is supported by the [http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ uvcvideo driver].
</div>
|}

Because of their location above the display the cameras all share a long and thin board layout. But the exact shape varies. Often several models share the exact same form factor, but with different resolutions. DIY upgraders can sometimes use higher resolution cameras from later models or cheaper camera modules from earlier’s.

Also their connector varies. The 4pin connector usually carries two USB data lines and two lines 3.3V power.

=== The Integrated camera ===
Almost all recent ThinkPads have an integrated camera above the display. This camera (typically called a webcam) is USB attached. On some earlier ThinkPads a proprietary camera was used, but later models use a standard UVC camera which is supported by the [http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ uvcvideo driver].
</div>
|}

Because of their location above the display the cameras all share a long and thin board layout. But the exact shape varies. Often several models share the exact same form factor, but with different resolutions. DIY upgraders can sometimes use higher resolution cameras from later models or cheaper camera modules from earlier’s.

Also their connector varies. The 4pin connector usually carries two USB data lines and two lines 3.3V power.

Bluetooth Daughter Card (14 pins)

2014-04-18T20:35:04Z

Siemer: /* ThinkPads without BDC socket */

__NOTOC__

The 14 pin Bluetooth Daughter Cards (BDC) are USB Bluetooth Adapters that are installed in a proprietary BDC socket. The connection probably carries usb, power, led and enable signal. The antenna is printed on the PCB. The location varies by model (within the screen, under the palm rest area, etc.); refer to the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the location of the BDC.

Very likely, '''all BDCs can be interchanged, allowing newer Bluetooth adapters to be installed in older ThinkPads.''' The Bluetooth 4.0 module has specifically been seen advertised like that by dealers and photos of different modules reveal no mechanical incompatibility. – Nevertheless do some Hardware Maintenance Manuals require using an M2 screw for one BDC and an M2.5 screw for another.

=== Details ===

When Bluetooth is enabled, the Bluetooth-logo LED will light up and executing {{cmdroot|lsusb}} will show an entry mentioning "Broadcom".

On recent ThinkPads the Wireless killswitch disables both WiFi and Bluetooth (verified on a ThinkPad Z60m, Z61t, T60, T61 and X61).

==ThinkPads without BDC socket==

Not every Bluetooth comes via 14 pin Bluetooth Daughter Card. The {{X130e}}, {{X140e}} and the {{X240}} for example use combined WiFi/Bluetooth mini-PCIe cards instead. Older devices use the [[CDC slot|Communication Daughter Card slot]] to provide Bluetooth.

Bluetooth Daughter Card (14 pins)

Siemer: /* ThinkPads without BDC socket */

__NOTOC__

The 14 pin Bluetooth Daughter Cards (BDC) are USB Bluetooth Adapters that are installed in a proprietary BDC socket. The connection probably carries usb, power, led and enable signal. The antenna is printed on the PCB. The location varies by model (within the screen, under the palm rest area, etc.); refer to the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the location of the BDC.

Very likely, '''all BDCs can be interchanged, allowing newer Bluetooth adapters to be installed in older ThinkPads.''' The Bluetooth 4.0 module has specifically been seen advertised like that by dealers and photos of different modules reveal no mechanical incompatibility. – Nevertheless do some Hardware Maintenance Manuals require using an M2 screw for one BDC and an M2.5 screw for another.

IBM FRU PN: 12P3872, 26P8071

=== Also known (in IBM literature) as.... ===
* Bluetooth Daughter Card
* Bluetooth Daughter Card board
* BDC board
=== Firmware ===
A firmware update is available for this adapter from IBM.<br>
The updated firmware is version 310, and is available [http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=ibm&lndocid=MIGR-44264 here]

This firmware update can unfortunately only be applied from Windows.<BR>
In theory an update for Linux exists; the BTDFU update utility that can be found on the pages of Marcel Holtmann, the current Linux BlueZ stack maintainer, which can be found [http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/dfu.html here]. You need to get the original IBM update file and extract the file with the extension "dfu" from it using cabextract. Using the btdfu tool and this file it should be possible to update the firmware. This procedure has not yet been confirmed.

=== Linux driver ===
This card will work with the standard Linux Bluetooth drivers.

This device is implemented as a USB device, you might be able to enabled or disabled it using Fn-F5.

Also be aware that this card has a three pin connector used for currently unknown purposes. The later model Thinkpads have a two pin connector that will not fit.

=== ThinkPads this card may be found in ===

Bluetooth Daughter Card (14 pins)

2014-04-18T19:54:36Z

Siemer: /* Bluetooth 4.0 */

__NOTOC__

The 14 pin Bluetooth Daughter Cards (BDC) are USB Bluetooth Adapters that are installed in a proprietary BDC socket. The connection probably carries usb, power, led and enable signal. The antenna is printed on the PCB. The location varies by model (within the screen, under the palm rest area, etc.); refer to the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the location of the BDC.

Very likely, '''all BDCs can be interchanged, allowing newer Bluetooth adapters to be installed in older ThinkPads.''' The Bluetooth 4.0 module has specifically been seen advertised like that by dealers and photos of different modules reveal no mechanical incompatibility. – Nevertheless do some Hardware Maintenance Manuals require using an M2 screw for one BDC and an M2.5 screw for another.

=== The Integrated camera ===
Almost all recent ThinkPads have an integrated camera above the display. This camera (typically called a webcam) is USB attached. On some earlier ThinkPads a proprietary camera was used, but later models use a standard UVC camera which is supported by the [http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ uvcvideo driver].
</div>
|}

Because of their location above the display the cameras all share a long and thin board layout. But the exact shape varies. Often several models share the exact same form factor, but with different resolutions. DIY upgraders can sometimes use higher resolution cameras from later models or cheaper camera modules from earlier’s.

Also their connector varies. The 4pin connector usually carries two USB data lines and two lines 3.3V power.

==Video interface controllers==

* Sonix SN9C201: 0.3MP (linux driver gspca_sn9c20x)
* Xenon or Xinon or sth.
* Ricoh R5U875: VGA (640×480 0.3MP) @30fps and both SXGA (1280×1024 1.3MP), UXGA (1600×1200 1.9MP) @15fps
* Ricoh R5U877: VGA (640×480 0.3MP), UXGA (1600×1200 1.9MP) @30fps and QXGA (2048×1536 3.1MP) @15fps. Has an Image Signal Processor.
