Thank you! A quick question though
I flashed the original - Success
I flashed the mod - Unsure of success

When I flashed in Win8, right-click flash.bat, run as admin - the command prompt just disappears quickly.

I opened the command prompt and ran the flash.bat from there. It just "froze" for a few moments and the fans kicked into high gear - as if it were doing a BIOS flash. However - nothing popped up ... only the command prompt.

Is the "-s" for silent? Is that why I saw no indication of new bios being loaded? I'll order the card and test when it gets here in two days.

Thanks again!

Success! I installed the new WiFi card today (Intel Advanced Wireless-N 6235 w/ Bluetooth) and it installed without issue.

The flash method I used previously worked (open command prompt as admin, navigate to folder and run from there), but thank you for posting an additional BIOS for me to try.

A notice to anybody who uses the same intel wifi/bt card as me - the Bluetooth does not work on this Lenovo model "0578-A99" ... at least using Windows 8. It's possible you may have better luck with Linux.

Thank you again for your help!
