Gosh... I was lucky, apparently. I ordered a Z60M, and it came with the Intel pro wireless card, which works beautifully out of the box. If Lenovo start swapping wifi cards, they should make that very explicit.

Hello, I have my Atheros card working properly with Ubuntu Breezy.

0000:00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

It didn't work out of the box with the version of madwifi that came with Ubuntu, though. I had to compile the current version from CVS for myself.

Perhaps this helps you. :-)

Interesting, my t41p came with the same wireless card and it works out of the box with Breezy (with the default drivers). I am having problems with the suspend to ram though, so glad to hear this works with 6.04.

FYI: Using the Breezy install CD the resolution is set propertly.

If the fingerprint reader is the same as that used on the t43 then the driver is availble and works (on my T43p under breezy at least). See thinkwiki.org for installation instructions.
It plugs into pam which allows it to be used with sudo as well as GDM and XScreensaver.

Thank you very much for installation information I am going to install Dapper as well, I have been running Fedora on it but I have grown to like more Ubuntu therefore I might as well to give a try on Dapper.
Unfortunally my z60t has some problems with sound card. I cannot get it working at all, I dont see any soundcard devices on my BIOS. I guess it broken :(

I was told that there was a 30-day money back guarantee fro Lenovo. So Hubert, check if it's not too late and have your machine exchanged if you really want to have an Intel-based chipset for wifi.

I am expecting my machine for this Thursday or Friday, I'll let you know what's inside.

I have the same problem, I see in the hardwarelist(windows xp) that the drivers for the soundcard are installed.
But I dont see any soundcard devices on my BIOS.

what to do,.... what to do?

I have written a guide for installing Ubuntu Breezy on the z60t, with the Atheros-card working. I had to compile the latest madwifi from svn.

Hi,

Did you update your BIOS yet ?
I'm going to put a dual boot XP-Feisty on my z60t.
I'm considering deleting the hidden System Rescue partition, because I prefer to backup my install with a simple dd.
However if I can't flash the BIOS and security chip and so on, it will bother me for the work I have to do under XP...

Any suggestion ?

Didn't Flash the bios and don't care. I wiped everything off. No windows either.

Lol, merci, qu'est ce que ça peut me démanger de faire pareil, mais je dois résister il me faut les fenêtres de temps en temps au boulot^^

Kubuntu Gutsy - Atheros chip works but it's temperamental occasionally impossible to start.
ifconfig ath0 up / down doesn't work even a reboot won't get it running. Only thing that get's it started is to plug in a usb wifi dongle......

Display is fine as long as you turn off the compiz effects which make it switch between desktops at random!! Theres also a problem with vnc greying out. Docs seem to suggest that 915 resolution package is no longer required - comments please.
