T61, T60 - BSOD for Intel WiFi cards, Middleton BIOS, & Win 8.1 & 10 This is an 'all-in-one' post. Recently, my trusty T61p started getting Blue Screens of Death (BSOD) with the following message: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQAL in sysnetwlv64.sys This has been frequently reported as a complication of Windows 8.1 (only) when installing the Intel drivers for the 3945 and 4965 WiFi cards. Both Intel and Microsoft state that these cards, plus the 5200 are no longer supported, but the 6200, 6300, etc. Suggested remedies are: 1. For the T61's, reflash with the Middleton BIOS (2.29 plus mods - no white list, SATA 2 works). Maxsea Timezero 2 Keygen For Mac here.
Then install a more recent WiFi card that has supported drivers for Win 8.1. Change cards in both the T60 and T61s to the IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad 11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter 42T0825 (this is an Atheros AR5008 5418 AR5BXB72). In recent posts I have seen about Win 10, the old Intel drivers that used to work for Win 8.0 (but didn't in 8.1) appear to work in Win 10.
