It doesn't explicitly call out 4G support so you will have to work backwards.
fyi: some laptop firmware, such as thinkpads, have a whitelist of supported WWAN cards. If you can't find a suitable internal card you can use a USB dongle without restriction.
- batou 11y agoThank you. Much appreciated. I've got a ThinkPad X201 with a built in Gobi 3G card already. Just used to 4g speeds :)
- groks 11y agoLooks like some people are binary editing the Lenovo supplied BIOS to hack in the PCI ID of their WWAN cards. Your X201 has decent support in the free coreboot BIOS, so if you fancy a weekend project you can ditch the WWAN whitelist altogether: http://www.coreboot.org/Board:lenovo/x201 http://www.coreboot.org/Board:lenovo/x201
- batou 11y agoYeah I did this when I had a T61 so I could enable SATA2. Thanks for the heads up with CoreBoot
