Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to connect to Wifi network

In most cases your giving people a false sense of hope. There are technically  
a few ways to do it *possibly*, but they are all tricky, unreliable,  
difficult, etc. There are risks to destroying hardware be it the wifi card or  
the whole system (ie flash with a bad BIOS, etc). It's just a really bad  
idea. There is a high chance there won't be a pre-made modified BIOS which  
means its even more risky as you have to edit the BIOS... not something you'd  
want to do short of being experienced with this and even then you still risk  
bricking the system! I'd never do it unless it's already been tested by  
someone successfully on the same model... but model #s aren't necessarily  
enough to be confident that you'll succeed.

If you want to do this despite this I'd suggest getting a specific Lenovo  
(one of the LibreBoot.org listed ones). It's still not without its risks, but  
at least then you'll be able to be a bit more likely to succeed. You could  
still potentially fail/brick it. There are different revisions and I have  
seen a number of people run into problems flashing these systems (technical  
capable people, like the *developers* of LibreBoot, LibreCMC, etc). Not all  
X200 models for example can even be flashed and in other cases it depends on  
what screen is used (or something... like that).
