What Doesn't Work
(Looking at this list you will understand that everything does work except those listed below)
- Docking Port (Completely untested, assume it’s not working and never will.)
- Wifi/Bluetooth After Restart (Works fine after a shutdown, but not restart.)
Upgrades
BCM943602BAED Wireless / Bluetooth Card – Specifically a Dell DW1830
The Intel Wifi/Bluetooth card that comes with the X1 Carbon will NOT WORK within OSX, therefore you must upgrade your wireless card if you want native wifi.
I tried multiple DW1560s AND the Lenovo BCM94352 variant, they worked fine in OSX but did not work at all in Windows or Linux… The DW1830 works for me, try other cards at your own risk.
As far as I know this machine does not have any whitelist whatsoever, therefore there is no need to try to patch the bios.
