    If it's whitelisted by the bios i don't think there's anything you can do really. Other than mod the bios of course.

    It's the other way around- you card isn't whitelisted in BIOS. Only cards that are on the list are supported, anything that's not on the list won't work.
    You have to either buy one that is whitelisted- another words one that comes from Lenovo or mod the BIOS.

    Or you can purchase one of those USB ones with several times the range and be done with it.
