ThinkPad 11e WiFi Blacklist removal/bypass

Hello, I bought a few Thinkpads 11e Type 20DA (the non-touch version) at a school auction, just to find out non of them had a WiFi Card on them.
I went on ebay and just bought random WiFi cards but of course I am getting "unauthorized network card is plugged in". I have been trying to remove this
unfortunately this is a very unpopular ThinkPad and I've been having a very hard time finding any information about it. Any information would help.

Thank you.
P.S. This is not a Yoga but there is no section for this model and I do know this model is also made on a Yoga version.

On newer machines (say since 2013) the BIOS usually needs a mod to remove that wifi-whitelist.
This is what you need: https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread- ... -of-AC7260
(needed for each machine separately).
