Distribution:

Debian Woody (3.0 rc2)

everything works great. default install of the original kernel (2.2.20) did not handle my sound card but a manual config and upgrade to 2.4.27 fixed that. i have not worked with the modem to the problems mentioned above have not plagued me. i was able to easily install the WPC11 v3. pcmcia was not a problem either.
oh yeah. one more thing. i upgraded the ram with an additional 256mb and this thing can do anything. it gets an A+ from me. I would suggest it to anyone.

uname -r : 2.4.31
Debian Sarge
Did a complete overhaul on the suggestion of a friend to try FreeBSD. After three days of an incompatibility no related to the thinkpad (wireless card problem) i decided to reinstall Debian. i had an older version of Woody rc2 which defaults 2.2.20 kernel with the option for 2.4.20. knowing that i was going to be upgrading the kernel anyway i decided to use the 2.4.20 kernel and use my thumbdrive to load the latest 2.4.31 and the linux-wlan-ng drivers. i know.. long story for a small bug but the usb drivers in the 2.4.20 kernel don't seem to like the usb port. dmesg reports that the insertion of the drive was recognized but the device was refusing the assignment. i am not sure what that means and i don't have the exact error cause i don't have the lappy here and i have already upgraded the kernel so i can't reaccomplish the error. the error can be caused by several things but after the upgrade i have had no repeat of the bug. I still give the lappy a 10 for compatability.
