The worst part is that the system completely refuses to boot, I have no way of saying "OK, I don't care, keep booting".
Don' tell me the solution is going to be #coreboot / #libreboot...
_Sigh_, there's a #libreboot fork called #canoeboot, it's developed by the same dev, but they don't quite explain why this happened? At least my HW is supported by both...
OTOH, why would a WiFi card be incompatible with a 13yo #Lenovo T430?
Elena ``of Valhalla''@mdione IIRC many thinkpad models have a *nice*¹ feature where they have a whitelist of devices they accept, and refuse to use anything else
I know it includes wifi cards
I don't know which Thinkpad models are affected
I know that the X200 had this feature, but installing libreboot wipes it, because that's the affected model I have
¹ I don't have words to describe that feature that are suitable to be uttered in polite company
@valhalla I'm ot polite company, and I accept italian versions for my stash :)
@mdione I think that “bastardata” can start to describe the feature and “pezzi di merda” is a good description of the people who decided to do it :D
