Don't trust 3rd-party BIOS modifications. I don't see it necessary to remove the white-list of X61/T61/R61. There are two powerful Atheros cards authorized by Lenovo's original BIOS, namely AR5424 and AR5418. Be sure to purchase one with FRU ID (i.e. original Lenovo part) and you won't be blocked by the white-list.

To unpack proprietary RAR packages, I don't find anything better (freer) than "unar". Just download the latest version from Debian's testing/unstable repository, as long as your system meets the dependencies.
