Tried to install the drivers from the IBM website for my 2743-CTO, and neither the wired nor wireless drivers are accepted by XP (Pro, Spack3). Por que? Had to ditch Vista, it was driving me bugnuts on those occasions when I _had_ to run a Windows app I could not make work w/ PlayOnLinux in Ubuntu.
So, I get most everything installed using the downloaded drivers, but wired Ethernet, wireless, and HD audio all tell me I've got the wrong drivers, despite installing them from LAN http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-69988 WLAN http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70413 AUDIO http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-69970 Hardware works just dandy in Ubuntu, BTW. Ubuntu's lshw reports here's what's in my hardware, are there other drivers? How can I fix this and get on the air with XP? id: network description: Wireless interface product: AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter vendor: Atheros Communications Inc. physical id: 0 bus info: p...@0000:02:00.0 logical name: wlan0 version: 01 serial: 00:23:4e:d4:5d:fd width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast = yes driver = ath5k ip = 192.168.1.6 latency = 0 multicast = yes wireless = IEEE 802.11bg resources: irq : 17 memory : fe1f0000-fe1fffff id: network description: Ethernet interface product: RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: p...@0000:0c:00.0 logical name: eth0 version: 02 serial: 00:23:54:4b:69:ae size: 10MB/s capacity: 1GB/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix vpd bus_master cap_list rom ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation = on broadcast = yes driver = r8169 driverversion = 2.3LK-NAPI duplex = half latency = 0 link = no multicast = yes port = MII speed = 10MB/s resources: irq : 28 ioport : e800(size=256) memory : fcfff000-fcffffff(prefetchable) memory : fcfe0000-fcfeffff(prefetchable) memory : feaf0000-feafffff(prefetchable) -- 73s/Best regards de John Bartley K7AAY CN85qj PDX USNG: 10T ER 3007628876 (NAD 83) _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
