Upgrade your WiFi card for the ThinkPad X230
the laptop appears to face problems with school wifi, and the wifi card seems stuck on wifi3. it might be time to replace the card since the stock bios are likely blocking newer models. you could skip the whitelist issue by flashing a modbios or coreboot. for a budget-friendly mini pcie wifi option, look into affordable models like the rpi wlan0 or similar entry-level boards.
It seems you're looking for a way to connect to a network. You might need an adapter like the AX211 or WIFI 6E, or the BE201 for WIFI 7.
The mod for accessing the BIOS whitelist is available here: https://github.com/n4ru/1vyrain. I haven't used it yet, so please do your own investigation first.
