I have a sager np8130 (Clevo p151hm1). AFAIK Clevo/Sager laptops don't have a wifi whitelist.
I see a lot of listings on ebay for the intel 7260, but a lot of them mention Lenovo or IBM. They are $10 cheaper than the listings that don't mention that.

Here's an example, will this work in my sager laptop? I don't see any differences.

Yeah it should work

It won't work, sorry. The card has its own firmware which is loaded by OS and cards meant for Lenovo won't start in non-Lenovo notebooks (although I think these start under Linux since Linux handles it differently - no on Windows though)

Good thing I waited, I'll make sure to get a normal one then.
Thanks for letting me know. -
For the 7260 i am not so sure if it is differentiated. I have and read people had"normal" 7260" working in lenovo thinkpad, which was impossible with the 6xxx cards.
