=== Linux WiFi driver ===



get the driver from http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-66449 and use ndiswrapper

=== Hardware switch ===

Some ThinkPads have a hardware switch that must be in the '''on''' position for the radio to work, regardless of driver state:

(Note: This may not always be the case. On at least one T60, model 2007-62U with Atheros AR5212, running Ubuntu Edgy with the MadWifi driver, the wireless switch has no effect. Wireless operates with the switch in either position. But there's an [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.acpi.ibm-acpi.devel/137 experimental patch] which adds support of the switch to [[ibm-acpi]].)
