Okay, so my friend has an X201, so I'm looking at this, http://tim.id.au/laptops/lenovo/thinkpad%20x200%20x200s%20x200si%20x201%20x201i%20x201s.pdf and I see a "Parts List" section. On page 168 (176 in the pdf) it looks like the WiFi card is labeled "7", so I should look up by FRU all of the WiFi cards listed on pages 190-192 (198-200 in the pdf) and check h-node to see if any of them work with free software?
