    I believe you may need to hunt for a Lenovo spec Intel 5xxx cards if you're using the standard Lenovo BIOS, however you can use a modified BIOS that has the Whitelist removed that enables you to upgrade to any Wi-Fi card. You can try requesting for such BIOS at sites such as the ThinkPads Forums or at the MyDigitalLife Whitelist Removal Section.

    I think either 5100 or 5300. My X200 Tablet has Intel 5100.

    You have to get the Lenovo card unless your 200t has a modded BIOS, etc.
