which replacement modules would you recommend? I am looking for alternatives to the 8260 that seems to be flawed.

I have now replaced my Wifi-Card and just wanted to point that you instructions diverge from the official ones suggested by Lenovo. This manual simply recommends to deactivate the internal batteries through a bios option - which seems easier than the instructions laid out here.

still, cheers for your guide.
