Thinkpad Edge 13 - 0197 wifi upgrade 1802 error

Hello everyone. I am trying to upgrade the wifi on this Thinkpad Edge 13 - 0197, and am having a hard time. I thought I looked up the proper whitelisted cards for this model, and came up with FRUs: 60Y3195 and 60Y3251. When I installed them, I got 1802 error. I have the latest bios for this computer 1.25 (6ZET38WW). Any thoughts or ideas on how to get one of them to work?


Thanks.

There is a whitelist in BIOS / UEFI which contains wifi cards that are allowed to be used in laptop.

I am familiar with the whitelist...the thing is, I thought I selected a card that is on the whitelist. So, I am not sure why it is not being accepted...
