Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew what wireless cards were compatible with the lenovo y400/y500 and where I could buy one of the aforementioned cards. I was also wondering if anyone knew where to find the lenovo white-list of compatible hardware.
Thanks,
Jake

Thanks, for the help, I'm going to try an intel centrino 6250, I've seen them running in other Lenovo models so hopefully it will work, if it doesn't it was only $10, I'll post back if it works in case anyone is interested.

Just thought that I would throw out an update, I tried a wifi card (6250 centrino) with an FRU # and it did not work, I'm not entirely certain what the correct FRU # for this series of laptops is, however, 60Y3195 does not work.

The correct Lenovo FRU#'s for the Y400/Y500, are the 20xxxxxx at the end of the following lines:
11 WLAN, WiFi 2x2 BGN+BT4.0 Intel 2230 BGN+BT M PCIE HMC 20200078
11 WLAN, 3*3 Intel 6300N MOW M PCIE NB HMC (LI) 20002323
11 WLAN, WiFi 1x1 BGN Cbt BCM94313HMG 1x1BGN HMC 20200102
11 WLAN, WiFi 1x1 BGN Liteon HB125 1x1BGN HMC 20200223
11 WLAN, WiFi 2x2 ABGN+BT4.0 Cbt BCM943228HMB 2x2ABGN+BT4.0 HMC 20200221
11 WLAN, WiFi 2x2 ABGN+BT4.0 Liteon WB222 2x2ABGN+BT4.0 HMC 20200225
11 WLAN, WiFi 1x1 BGN+BT4.0 Cbt BCM943142HM 1x1BGN+BT4.0 HMC 20200222
11 WLAN, WiFi 1x1 BGN+BT4.0 Liteon WB225 1x1BGN+BT4.0 HMC 20200224
"60Y3195" is not a Lenovo FRU number.
No disrespect to the OP. I really feel his pain. In the "old days", I could have just called IBM Sales Group, given them this FRU number, and they would have shipped out the upgraded card pronto.
"Those were the good old days". :cry:
