Ubuntu 9.10 works great on my T500, with suspend, hibernate, sound, wifi, out of the box. I'm amazed.

I dream about a T series Thinkpad since years, but they are very expensive in France.

I found a T500 2055-45U on ebay. I like to buy in Ebay, because €/$ is at my advantage this century.
It's a like new item, just 1 month old in the len,ovo worldwide waranty checker. Seller can send it to France, great.

It's a 15.4' WSXGA+ panel. Here are some hardware scans.

I found an el cheapo 2nd hard drive caddy adapter, always in ebay, to insert a 2nd disk.
Search about "2nd hard HDD Caddy Adapter For Thinkpad T500" I found mine for 15$ free shipping.

My second disk was a plain old working ubuntu edgy 8.04 install I made in my Lenovo 3000 N100 I reported here several years ago.

After booting the linux partition with F12 at boot time, linux start in console mode. Of course, xorg support is obsolete for this new hardware. Good surprise, Ethernet seems working. I plus a cable, a bit of dhcp magic later, I can send the usual update/upgrade sentences.

<pre>
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
</pre>

Now I have an updated version of edgy, I can test a bit of new magic (for me), "do-upgrade-release"

<pre>
do-upgrade-release

After a little time of reflexion (computing 98% CPU), it ask me permission to download 1Go of updates. I have the great pleasure to enjoy an optical fiber access. It downloads at 4300ko/s. I'm still amazed with this access, 1 year later.

I reboot to enjoy the new kernel 2.6.28
It spawns gdm in compatibility mode, as this model enjoy a switchable graphics. It can be superseded in the bios.

I start in graphic mode, just time to see working: sound, wifi (home AP preference is still saved, it connects out of the box), Ethernet, suspend and hibernate.
Blutooth works out of the box. I connect my logitech blutooth mouse in 2 seconds. Trackpoint and mouse paddle works too.

Specific installation notes for the ThinkPad {{T500}}.

==General Notes==
T61 is running out of life and had a very good linux support. {{T500}} is one of the follow-ups with a new and more performant hardware. Can it stay up with the linux Compability of the T61 series?

== Good News ==

Ubuntu 9.10 works great on my T500, with suspend, hibernate, sound, wifi, out of the box. I'm amazed.

I dream about a T series Thinkpad since years, but they are very expensive in France.

I found a T500 2055-45U on ebay. I like to buy in Ebay, because €/$ is at my advantage this century.
It's a like new item, just 1 month old in the len,ovo worldwide waranty checker. Seller can send it to France, great.

High end N100 like 0768-BJG are very similar to some Z61t or even some T60 Wide. N100 are a bit more heavy, not so strong. The top cover is not inalterable.

In the software point of view, N100 are crafted with the usual Rescue&Recovery partition, usual Thinkpads software like the Fn+F5 (wifi AP choice) or Fn+F7 (video output choice)

=== Hardware switch ===

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

=== Packages ===
*{{Fedora}}
** Packages: http://www.atrpms.net/dist/fc5/ipw3945
** Helpful Thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=436357
** ATrpms yum repo rpm: http://atrpms.net/dist/common/atrpms/atrpms-67-1.at.noarch.rpm.html
** '''NOTE:''' The T60p uses the smp kernel which the ipw3945 yum install does not provide. You will need the smp kernel for your architecture found at http://www.atrpms.net/dist/fc5/ipw3945. Remove the non-smp kernel and replace it with the appropriate smp kernel. Wireless works great for me... --[[User:Herlo|Herlo]] 18:06, 22 June 2006 (CEST)
*{{Mandriva}}
** Mandriva's kernel comes with the ipw3945 module (since at least 2006.0 Update One)
** dkms package (dkms-ipw3945) can be found in contrib (currenlty cooker only, thus will probably be in 2007.0)
** Additional Packages: ipw3945d and ipw3945-ucode, both either available in the commercial distribution (or club) or from http://plf.zarb.org/
*{{Gentoo}}
** The net-wireless/ipw3945 package contains everything you need
*{{Debian}}
** The ipw3945 microcode is available in the [http://packages.debian.org/testing/admin/firmware-ipw3945 firmware-ipw3945] package (currently in testing and unstable (same versions)).
** The ipw3945 regulatory daemon is available in the [http://packages.debian.org/testing/net/ipw3945d ipw3945d] package (currently in testing and unstable (same versions)).
** The ipw3945 module source is available in the [http://packages.debian.org/testing/net/ipw3945-source ipw3945-source] package (currently in testing and unstable (same versions)).
** '''DEPRECIATED:''' Unofficial packages are available from [http://ace-host.stuart.id.au/russell/files/debian/sarge/ipw3945/ Russell Stuart], [http://kanotix.com/files/debian/pool/contrib/i/ Stefan Lippers-Hollmann], and [http://www.joachim-reichel.de/debian/sid/ Joachim Reichel].
* [[OpenBSD]]
** Supported with the [http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wpi wpi] driver in 4.0.
* [[Ubuntu]]
** Works out of the box in edgy. Requires ''restricted'' repository.

=== Linux WiFi driver ===
The most recent revision of the Intel Centrino platform utilizes a new generation of wireless networking device connected to the system via '''PCI-E''', and not PCI (like the [[ipw2200]]-line used to do). Therefore, a new driver must be used. A sourceforge-project supporting the new cards is available at [http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/]. However, as of today, the project's code ([http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/detail_desc.aspx?ProductID=2259&DwnldID=10315&agr=Y Stable Release 1.2.0]) depends on a '''binary-only, proprietary''' user-space-daemon communicating with the driver via sysfs. It is '''not possible''' to operate this device with Free Software exclusively at the moment. The license-terms the daemon is released under prohibit reverse-engineering of the communication-protocol; this will hopefully not hold developers outside the US, where clauses like this one are not enforceable, from re-implementing a free variant of some sort.
==== External Discussion ====
This issue already sparked discussions on the [http://lkml.org/ Linux Kernel Mailing List], accessible via [http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/24/266 http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/24/266].

There is also a very revealing [http://kerneltrap.org/node/6650 interview] with the author of the OpenBSD driver for the 3945, in which it comes out that Intel has lied (at least by omission) about the purpose of the "regulatory daemon".

==== Current State ====
The [[ipw2200]]-drivers in kernel 2.6.15 (and possibly later) do '''not''' work with this adapter. There is '''no mainline-kernel support''' at the moment, and without a change in the license of the required user-space-daemon, or mechanics of the code itself, '''probably''' will never be any.

==== Some comments ====
ipw3945 works with [http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/] drivers.
A Spanish summary, but easy to understand about how to install:
[http://www.esdebian.org/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=18&showtopic=69543 esDebian Forum], maxim_o message (longer)

Thinkpad topic: on ThinkPads like the Z60 that have one. remember to put the wireless switch in the on state! But you will not be able to enable the Wireless LED with Fn+F5, it is not a problem.

One more comment: if you want monitor mode (e.g for use with Kismet or other network sniffers), you need to uncomment CONFIG_IPW3945_MONITOR=y line from ipw3945-1.1.0 Makefile.

High end N100 like 0768-BJG are very similar to some Z61t or even some T60 Wide. N100 are a bit more heavy, not so strong. The top cover is not inalterable.

In the software point of view, N100 are crafted with the usual Rescue&Recovery partition, usual Thinkpads software like the Fn+F5 (wifi AP choice) or Fn+F7 (video output choice)

Hi all

Buying a Thinkpad is very difficult in France, due to troubles in French distribution, and co existent series in the late 2006.
So I buyed a Lenovo 3000 N100 0768-BJG the 29 jan 2007 http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?subcategoryind=0&familyind=303747&brandind=10&doccategoryind=0&modelind=333670&doctypeind=2&validate=true&partnumberind=0&sitestyle=lenovo&template=%2Fproductpage%2Flandingpages%2FproductPageLandingPage.vm&operatingsystemind=49979&machineind=303753

Silence, warm, great screen, greater keyboard.

The keyboard is like a thinkpad, so I buyed it.

Rafael: /* New Models like C-series and N-series. */

Could anyone add an explanation of the scheme of recent Thinkpad's model names? For example, AFAIK, the last letter indicates the keyboard language.

== subcategories wrapped onto new page ==

Guys,

The subcategories exceeds 200 entries and wrapped onto a new page, which right now contains just the Z60t.

Perhaps we should rethink this page?

--[[User:Tonko|Tonko]] 17:56, 18 Oct 2005 (CEST)

There's not much we can do about this.

We could categorize certain models together (like numbered, T-Series, etc.), but that raises model browsing effort. Further models will come and hence the second page will fill up more or less quickly. I think the problem is that the "next page" link is not drawing a lot of attention. Maybe we could do something about this, probably the stylesheet has to be modified.

I found a minor solution in the two links i just added next to the page heading. They are derived from the previous and next links and implement a simple means of filtering.

I would like to start adding information about the 240z how do I get it listed on this page?

== New Models like C-series and N-series. ==

I guess someoneshould write about the new C and N series of Thinkpads
as they made their way into the market and are sold by almost any
computer shop around the globe, that sells notebooks.
I see this matter as quite important.

Lenovo's 3000 series is not branded "ThinkPad". Is the hardware and firmare anything like recent ThinkPads?

--[[User:Thinker|Thinker]] 19:23, 4 August 2006 (CEST)
----

They may not be branded as "Thinkpads", but they have IBM-like part numbers and IBM-like hardware maintenance manuals (complete with IBM-like part numbers for the various internal parts), at least for the N100 series. I'd vote for allowing their inclusion.

I do have a Lenovo 3000 N100 0768-BJG for one month. I buyed it due to the lack of thinkpad available in France these times.
Support is made by IBM, FRU are available like thinkpads, OnSite waranty is available like thinkpads. It's worth the value.
Mine is quite well, core2duo 1.8GHz, 1x1Go DDR2, 100Go Sata, fingerprint, GeForce 7300, fingerprint reader, 16:10 1680x1050 LCD. I upgraded with a second 1Go DDR2, and a 9 cell battery available in lenovo dealer as with thinkpads. I'm running ubuntu edgy right now.

I'd still like to add information about the 240z model but do i edit that list?
