== Linux support ==
This chip is supported by the rtlwifi/rtl8192ce driver, which was introduced [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0c8173385e549f95cd80c3fff5aab87b4f881d8d in kernel 2.6.38]. There are two other options available, a Linux driver available for download from Realtek, or ndiswrapper.

{{WARN|If you are not comfortable with running development code and have the option, order your ThinkPad with a different WiFi adapter. All other available WiFi options are supported by in-kernel drivers in modern Linux distributions}}

=== rtlwifi/rtl8192ce ===

The rtlwifi/rtl8192ce driver which supports this chip is included in kernel 2.6.38-rc1 and later. With earlier kernels you can install the driver from the [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next-2.6.git wireless-next kernel tree] or, if you are running a recent stable kernel, build only the drivers from the compat-wireless branch.

See http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download/ for instructions about installing compat-wireless.

=== Installation on Linux Mint Debian Edition ===

If you use 2.6.38 or later kernels the rtl8192ce driver is already included in the kernel.

'''Log of install steps with the 2.6.38+ and 3.x kernels:'''

''sudo aptitude install linux-image-amd64''

where you should replace 'amd64' with '686' if you run a 32-bit installation. If in doubt you can run

''uname -r''

to find your current kernel flavor.

''sudo aptitude install firmware-realtek''

Now you can either manually load the driver with:

''sudo modprobe -v rtl8192ce''

or reboot to make the kernel load the driver automatically.

'''Log of install steps with the 2.6.32 kernel:'''

''This section applies for most or all pre-2.6.38 kernels!''

Installed iw package as recommended on compat-wireless page.

Downloaded the latest daily compat-wireless tarball (compat-wireless-2011-02-28) from
[http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/] and built it:

tar xvf compat-wireless-2011-02-28.tar.bz2

cd compat-wireless-2011-02-28

./scripts/driver-select rtlwifi

make

sudo make install

sudo make wlunload

sudo modprobe -v rtl8192ce

dmesg said driver loaded but missing firmware

Downloaded rtl8192cfw.bin firmware from linux-firmware git repo [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=tree;f=rtlwifi;h=11251e0c39e90a9b1999bbd9097bf958a7331735;hb=HEAD] and copied it to /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/

from compat-wireless dir:

sudo make wlunload

sudo modprobe -v rtl8192ce

reloaded network-manager service

dmesg still mentioned missing CRDA settings but wireless worked.

Installed wireless-crda package with gdebi-gtk from ubuntu maverick (http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/amd64/wireless-crda/download)

from compat-wireless dir:

sudo make wlunload

sudo modprobe -v rtl8192ce

dmesg now loaded regulatory settings too and wireless still worked.

=== Realtek Linux driver ===

The Realtek Linux driver for this chip can be downloaded from the Realtek [http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=48&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#2722 website]

Please note: use of this or a similar driver on Lenovo systems may results in unpredictable fatal crashes on some systems! It's is *not* advised to choose this driver.

=== ndiswrapper ===
{{NOTE|The use of ndiswrapper is not recommended}}

It may be possible to use the Windows drivers with Ndiswrapper.

=== ThinkPad Edge 13" Series ===
This page gives an overview of all ThinkPad Edge 13" Series related topics. The Edge 13" exists both in Intel and AMD processor models.

=== ThinkPad Edge 13" (Intel) ===
==== Machine Type ====
* 0196, 0217

==== Standard Features ====
*One of the following [[Intel Core 2 Duo (Penryn)|Intel® Core™2 Duo processor]] or [[Intel Core i3]] processors:
** [[Intel Core 2 Duo (Penryn)|Intel® Core™2 Duo processor]] SU7300 (1.3GHz, 3MB L2)
** Intel® Core™ i3-380UM Dual Core Processor (1.33 GHz), 3-MB L3 cache
* [[Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD]]
* 13.3" [[TFT display]] with 1366x768 (HD) resolution with LED backlight
* 2, 3 or 4GB [[PC3-8500]] or [[PC3-10600]] memory standard upgradable to 4GB
* One of the following storage options
** 250GB 5400rpm 2.5" SATA HDD
** 320GB 7200rpm 2.5" SATA HDD
** 500GB 5400rpm 2.5" SATA HDD
* [[Realtek Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000)]]
* Intel HD Audio with a [[CX20582]] codec
* [[MiniPCI Express slot]] 1 with one of the following:
** [[Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000]]
** [[Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250]]
** [[ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter III]]
* [[ThinkPad_Bluetooth_with_Enhanced_Data_Rate_(BDC-2.1)|Bluetooth]] on select models
* 0.3MP [[Integrated camera]]
* [[UltraNav]] (TrackPoint / Touchpad combo)
* Multicard reader 5-in-1 (MMC, MS, MS Pro, SD, SDHC)

=== Distribution Support (0196 model) ===

This section covers the 0196 model with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

Common to all distributions should be the following two issues:
* the trackpad's synaptics multitouch hardware isn't detected properly
* the built-in microphone does not work by default

Refer to the linlap entry [http://www.linlap.com/wiki/lenovo+thinkpad+edge+13+-+intel] for details.

==== (K)Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ====
See: [[Installing Kubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) on a ThinkPad Edge 13" (Intel)]]

==== Ubuntu 10.10 ====

Ubuntu 10.10 out-of-the-box supports pretty much all this machine's hardware, including:
* power (frequency scaling, hibernate)
* networking (wifi and ethernet)
* card reader (tested with SDHC card)
* webcam
* HDMI (video & audio (need to select the "HDMI Output" in Sound Preferences))
* combo headphone/mic jack (same kind of connector as many smartphones)
* bluetooth
* trackpad (but only in "pseudo-multitouch", see above)

What doesn't work:
* inbuilt microphone (see above)

==== OpenSUSE 11.3 ====

OpenSUSE 11.3 supports this model out-of-the-box, including 3D desktop effects, hibernate, built-in webcam and wireless.

A workaround to enable the the built-in microphone is to add the following line at the beginning of {{path|/etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf}}:<br/>
<tt>options snd-hda-intel model=olpc-xo-1_5</tt>

=== Distribution Support (0217 model) ===

This section covers the 0217 model with an Intel Core i3 processor.

At least some models feature a Realtek 8188CE wireless MiniPCI express card which only just recently got official support in Linux (as of December 2010). The adapter is sold as ThinkPad 11a/b/g, but it is '''not''' the same adapter as either of the three other adapters sold under that same name.
Please refer to the [[ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter III]] page for driver details.

The hardware otherwise resembles the 0196 model so the issues mentioned for that model may also apply here.

==== Linux Mint Debian Edition ====

At least the basic features like suspend/resume, frequency scaling, wired networking, HDMI video and trackpad/trackpoint work out of the box.
The wireless network interface was '''not''' supported by default at the time of writing, but it was possible to make it work with the compat-wireless driver and the default linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel. Now that the 2.6.38 kernel with full wlan driver support is available in Debian testing the problem can be solved by simply upgrading to that kernel.
Remaining hardware is not yet tested.

=== ThinkPad Edge 13" (AMD) ===
==== Machine Type====
* 0197
==== Standard Features ====
* [[AMD Athlon Neo X2]] Dual-Core processor L325 (1.5GHz, 1MB L2)
* [[ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200]]
* 13.3" [[TFT display]] with 1366x768 (HD) resolution with LED backlight
* 2, 3 or 4GB [[PC2-5300]] memory standard
* 250GB or 320GB 5400rpm 2.5" SATA HDD
* [[Realtek Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000)]]
* HD Audio with a [[CX20582]] codec
* [[MiniPCI Express slot]] 1 with the following:
** [[ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter II]]
* [[ThinkPad_Bluetooth_with_Enhanced_Data_Rate_(BDC-2.1)|Bluetooth]] on select models
* 0.3MP [[Integrated camera]]
* [[UltraNav]] (TrackPoint / Touchpad combo)
* Multicard reader 5-in-1 (MMC, MS, MS Pro, SD, SDHC)

=== Distribution Support (0196 model) ===

This section covers the 0196 model with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

Common to all distributions should be the following two issues:
* the trackpad's synaptics multitouch hardware isn't detected properly
* the built-in microphone does not work by default

Refer to the linlap entry [http://www.linlap.com/wiki/lenovo+thinkpad+edge+13+-+intel] for details.

==== (K)Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ====
See: [[Installing Kubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) on a ThinkPad Edge 13" (Intel)]]

==== Ubuntu 10.10 ====

Ubuntu 10.10 out-of-the-box supports pretty much all this machine's hardware, including:
* power (frequency scaling, hibernate)
* networking (wifi and ethernet)
* card reader (tested with SDHC card)
* webcam
* HDMI (video & audio (need to select the "HDMI Output" in Sound Preferences))
* combo headphone/mic jack (same kind of connector as many smartphones)
* bluetooth
* trackpad (but only in "pseudo-multitouch", see above)

What doesn't work:
* inbuilt microphone (see above)

==== OpenSUSE 11.3 ====

OpenSUSE 11.3 supports this model out-of-the-box, including 3D desktop effects, hibernate, built-in webcam and wireless.

A workaround to enable the the built-in microphone is to add the following line at the beginning of {{path|/etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf}}:<br/>
<tt>options snd-hda-intel model=olpc-xo-1_5</tt>

=== Distribution Support (0217 model) ===

This section covers the 0217 model with an Intel Core i3 processor.

At least some models feature a Realtek 8188CE wireless MiniPCI express card which only just recently got official support in Linux (as of December 2010). The adapter is sold as ThinkPad 11a/b/g, but it is '''not''' the same adapter as either of the three other adapters sold under that same name.
Please refer to the [[ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter III]] page for driver details.

The hardware otherwise resembles the 0196 model so the issues mentioned for that model may also apply here.

==== Linux Mint Debian Edition ====

At least the basic features like suspend/resume, frequency scaling, wired networking, HDMI video and trackpad/trackpoint work out of the box.
The wireless network interface is '''not''' supported by default, but it is possible to make it work with the compat-wireless driver and the default linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel.
Remaining hardware is not yet tested.

=== ThinkPad Edge 13" (AMD) ===
==== Machine Type====
* 0197
==== Standard Features ====
* [[AMD Athlon Neo X2]] Dual-Core processor L325 (1.5GHz, 1MB L2)

* 2, 3 or 4GB [[PC2-5300]] memory standard
* 250GB or 320GB 5400rpm 2.5" SATA HDD
* [[Realtek Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000)]]
* HD Audio with a [[CX20582]] codec
* [[MiniPCI Express slot]] 1 with the following:
** [[ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter II]]
* [[ThinkPad_Bluetooth_with_Enhanced_Data_Rate_(BDC-2.1)|Bluetooth]] on select models
* 0.3MP [[Integrated camera]]
* [[UltraNav]] (TrackPoint / Touchpad combo)
* Multicard reader 5-in-1 (MMC, MS, MS Pro, SD, SDHC)

This section covers the 0217 model with an Intel Core i3 processor.

At least some models feature a Realtek 8188CE wireless MiniPCI express card which only just recently got official support in Linux (as of December 2010).
Realtek provided an out-of-kernel driver for a longer while but users have reported limited success and some system instability when using it. The Linux kernel developers are now working with Realtek on properly [[http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0c8173385e549f95cd80c3fff5aab87b4f881d8d | integrating it in the Linux kernel from version 2.6.38]]. Some distributions including Ubuntu have backported or included the original out-of-kernel driver in earlier kernels.
It is possible to manually build and use the rtl8192ce driver from compat-wireless with earlier kernels, and once the 2.6.38 kernel becomes common this card may start consistently working out of the box.

The hardware resembles the 0196 model so the issues mentioned for that model may also apply here.
