Hope this the right place to post this. If not my apologies if it's the wrong spot. My other laptop that's undergoing a MacEctomy is my IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T61. I saw a post regarding a 2 wireless NIC cards that work once the Middleton BIOS is applied. Now I'm not quite at the Mac install stage but just wanted to share an update regarding another NIC card that works with the BIOS update. Originally, I purchased this when I was converting the T61 to RHEL 7.9 and beyond and the OEM wireless NIC wasn't compatible. Hence I upgraded to the Intel Ultimate N Card R500 Dual Band. Works with Windows10 out-of-the-box. I ended up getting this on eBay Dec 2021 and now finally getting to the install.

Once the MacEctomy is complete I'll post an update.
