Added initial openSUSE 12.2 installation instruction for the T410s

New page

== Model ==
Lenovo Thinkpad {{T410s}} 2912-W1C, BIOS 6UET68WW (1.48), ECP 6UHT33WW (1.14)

== General ==
This installation instruction describes these parts that do not or do not completely work after my {{OpenSUSE}} 12.2 DVD installation using KDE 4 as window manager. If anything does not work as expected, please have a look at the older {{Install|OpenSUSE| 12.1| T410s}} for possible workarounds that I forgot to mention here.

== Network ==

=== Wireless WAN ===
The optional Wireless WAN (WWAN) adapter [[Qualcomm Gobi 2000]] does not work out of the box. The gobi_loader application that uploads the firmware to the WWAN device can be found in the [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/utilities/openSUSE_12.2/ Network Utilities] repository or [http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/network:utilities/openSUSE_12.2/gobi_loader.ymp?base=openSUSE%3A12.2&query=gobi_loader 1-Click install]. See the ThinkWiki article linked above for obtaining the firmware files.

=== GPS ===
After loading the firmware, [[Qualcomm Gobi 2000]] provides three USB devices. The last one sends GPS NMEA data after activating it by a special command string. See the ThinkWiki article linked above and its discussion page for more details.
{{NOTE|"Auto tracking" has to be enabled in the Options of the {{LNVDOCURL|DS015017|ThinkVantage GPS}} Windows application. The Thinkvantage GPS Windows application works with a clean Windows installation in a virtualizer that supports USB. However, it requires the {{LNVDOCURL|DS001302|Qualcomm Gobi 2000 Wireless WAN Driver}} to be installed.}}
