    Hi, folks) Have this dilema, will the Killer wi-fi adapter work within this laptop?
    The thing is that even intel's 6300 was not recognized by the system. Shot a message to bigfoot support yesterday and received an answer that Lenovo might lock their bios to 3d party components.

    Did anyone try to install Killer adapter into a Lenovo laptop or have an access to unlocked Lnovo bios?

    Any help would be appreciated, thx :)

    Leonovo do in fact whitelist BIOSes so it won't work unless you use a modified BIOS.
