ThinkPad SL Series

This page gives an overview of all ThinkPad SL Series (SL300, SL400, SL500) related topics.

ATTENTION!
The SL Series-notebooks have IdeaPad firmware, they are not ThinkPads as far as Operating System support (i.e. drivers) are concerned.

Alexandre Rostovtsev has written the lenovo-sl-laptop driver managing hotkeys, backlight and bluetooth. Please test and report results. Original announcement on the mailing list.

  • CPU
    • Intel Core 2 Duo
      • Works without problems (tested on 2.6.27).
  • Graphics Hardware
    • integrated Intel X4500HD
      • Works without problems (tested on 2.6.27).
    • Discrete NVIDIA GeForce 9300 graphics
      • Works with vesa, nv and the proprietary nVidia driver (tested version 180.06)

Use script to remove module before suspend/hibernate and reload after resume/thaw.The wireless switch on front of case does work, but the wireless LED doesn't light up.
    • WWAN
      • Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 5350: Has kernel support in 2.8.29.1 and later.
        • WiMAX works, check out [1] for ucode and client daemons.
        • WiFi needs microcode, which Intel has finally released, tested working with 2.6.30-rc4 and ucode 8.24.2.2.
      • Ericsson F3507g (UMTS/HSPA):Detected on /dev/ttyACM0-2 (2.6.27), NetworkManager (0.7.0) couldn't connect out of the box, but you can connect with wvdial for example. See more information. Works out of the Box with Kernel 2.6.28 + NetworkManager 0.7.1;
