_Sigh_, there's a #libreboot fork called #canoeboot, it's developed by the same dev, but they don't quite explain why this happened? At least my HW is supported by both...
OTOH, why would a WiFi card be incompatible with a 13yo #Lenovo T430?
This is not thrown by your BIOS locking down your computer? So maybe a "stop on all errors" set to "no" won't help? It looks like it could be some security thing.
It could be incompatible just because it isn't backwards compatible to whatever the latest standard the computer supports for the form factor is. Or something. I may just still be annoyed by AGP.
@Marcos Dione I think that “bastardata” can start to describe the feature and “pezzi di merda” is a good description of the people who decided to do it :D

@nroach44 right, but I'm replacing one WiFi with another. I wish I could find the old wifi card I used to have in my old and defunct Dell, which was my first home made AP :)

Thanks for the pointer, but my HomeLab is in a bad enough shape already with the lost AP to lose the home/cloud/media server in a botched update. I think I'll bite the bullet and merge this emergency with my desire to build a NAS to play with filesystems.
If you just want to get rid of the Wifi card whitelist then take a look at 1vyrain. All you have to do is downgrade your bios and then boot from a USB, it’s pretty easy

in reply to Marcos Dione • •@Marcos Dione IIRC many thinkpad models have a *nice*¹ feature where they have a whitelist of devices they accept, and refuse to use anything else
I know it includes wifi cards
I don't know which Thinkpad models are affected
I know that the X200 had this feature, but installing libreboot wipes it, because that's the affected model I have
¹ I don't have words to describe that feature that are suitable to be uttered in polite company

I think #libreboot is out of question.

in reply to Marcos Dione • •@Marcos Dione ouch
on the X200 it was easier (we bought it exactly because libreboot was somewhat easy to put on it)
