The above Debian related links explain the hoop-jumping required (in early 2009) for x200s models that have the 5300 wireless card. However if you have a model containing the 5100 (e.g 7469-5KG) then a standard Debian Lenny install ('HD-media' on USB key+wireless net install) works fine and is straightforward. With Debian Squeeze the installation is straightforward, including the 5300. The fingerprint reader is still not working.

{{NOTE| Part numbers above will not work with ThinkPad models earlier than the 61 (T61, X61) series, even if the ThinkPad supports Mini-PCI Express. A 42T0865 card was tested in a T60, and resulted in an 1802 POST error.}}

== Hardware switch ==

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

Problems with hwclock

2007-05-23T03:39:45Z

Fo0bar: /* Using the --directisa switch of hwclock(8) */

This page discusses the problem with /dev/rtc on certain models.

== Problem description ==
On bootup,a message like this shows up:

<pre>select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out</pre>

The RTC kernel driver can't handle the system clock.

== Possible solutions ==

=== Using the --directisa switch of hwclock(8) ===
The '''hwclock''' command knows the parameter ''--directisa'' to access the system clock "directly" instead of accessing it by using /dev/rtc. There are several ways of doing this automatically.

==== Generic instructions ====
Move /sbin/hwclock (or wherever it is located on your system) to '''/sbin/hwclock.dist''' and create the following shell script, which you place at /sbin/hwclock

<pre>#!/bin/sh
/sbin/hwclock.dist --directisa "$@"</pre>
Make the script executable (apply the same permissions you had for ''hwclock'' before) and keep your packaging system from overwriting it on updates.

==== Debian 4.0 (etch) ====
Add the following to '''/etc/default/rcS''':

<pre>HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa"</pre>

==== Debian 3.1 (sarge) and previous ====
Edit '''/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh''' and change all instances of "/sbin/hwclock" to "/sbin/hwclock --directisa".

=== Compiling RTC-support into the kernel instead of as a module ===

Compiling RTC-support (CONFIG_RTC) into the kernel instead of compiling it as a module seems to work also. Tested on: 2.6.20.6 at Thinkpad {{Z61m}} 9450-3HG

== Affected Models ==

*Thinkpad {{T60}}
*Thinkpad {{T60p}}
*Thinkpad {{X60s}}
*Thinkpad {{Z61m}}

== Affected Operating Systems ==

*Linux, all flavours. Tested with kernel 2.6.18, 2.6.19, 2.6.20.6
