I have gentoo running on my T42. Everything is working except wireless (which I broke with a new kernel) and software suspend. And the 3D of course, thanks ATI.

I had the same problem. After I installed SP2 is saw the networks but would not connect. I uninstalled the drivers completely and also the IBM Access Connections, then reinstalled the drivers and Connections and it started working again. Now it broke in gentoo though. *sigh*

This makes me sad as I ordered one June 15th and have yet to recieve it. Nothing special, stock. The site said it shipped at the end of June, but a few days later I got a call saying in fact, it hadn't. Here it is the 25th of July and IBM is no where to be found. *sigh*
