    I have the Lenovo branded 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini PCI-Express Adapter. After some research, I found out that it uses a Realtek 8172 chip. Unfortunately for me, that chipset isn't supported by anything. No linux drivers, hackintosh won't work, etc.

    So, I was wondering if I'm able to upgrade it. Where is the card located? Will the BiOs accept it?
