Hi There,
I just purchased an X61s and loaded Trisquel v7 i686 onto it. Running some
commands:
X61s:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Trisquel
DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.0
DISTRIB_CODENAME=belenos
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Trisquel GNU/Linux 7.0, Belenos"
X61s:~$ lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net
00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82566MM Gigabit Network
Connection [8086:1049] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:20de]
Kernel driver in use: e1000e
Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN
[Kedron] Network Connection [8086:4230] (rev 61)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:1010]
05:00.0 CardBus bridge [0607]: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II [1180:0476] (rev ba)
If memory serves me, the Intel WiFi card is bad news. I thought this laptop
model had an Atheros WiFi card. At least that's what h-node.org says about
the X61s.
As far as I can tell, my options are to get a USB WiFi adapter or ditch this
X61s and try another computer.
Ideas, opinions?
TIA,
Rick
