So here’s where I’m at. I’m following this guide (dagarlas.org computing - Workaround for HP notebooks with bios minipci lock) in order to do this process.
I have a Thinkpad S1 Yoga with a new Intel 7260 mini PCie wireless card which should be supported, but since I didn’t buy the replacement wifi card it through Lenovo the VID is not on the whitelist. I currently have this Intel 7260 installed in my Asus Zenbook Prime UX21A which has Fedora 25 installed in order to complete this fix.
When I try to run his idchanger tool, my output just says “KILLED”
[root@MashedBrotato ~] ./idchanger -r 0xf7c00000
Accessing adapter at 0xF7C00000
Killed
I’m thinking the issue may be that my Memory is 64-bit vs. the 32-bit from the walkthrough, but that’s based on no information other than that I can note that as an obvious difference. If this is a case, would a modification to the IN32 and OUT32 portions of this code be necessary? http://web.archive.org/web/20071016115335/http://dagarlas.org/stuff/computing/0001/idchanger.c
I don’t know how to complete this if so.
Here’s my relevent info from the lspci printout:
[root@MashedBrotato arthur]# lspci -nv
02:00.0 0280: 8086:08b1 (rev 73)
Subsystem: 8086:4070

I need to change that 8086:08b1 to 8086:08b2 and the 8086:4070 to 8086:C070 from what I can find regarding Lenovo’s official VID for the 7260 card, but that info is slightly sketchy. If anybody has a good source for their officially white-listed VIDs that would be really helpful as well.
Please help!
