Thanks for the quick reply however!
I went to your link and it says:
"STOP PRESS: As of the update providing kernel 2.6.32-22 Wifi appears to work out of the box, thus rendering this article redundant."
My problem started recently. I did notice the problem with the wi-fi and I believe it to be fixed with the above mentioned update. I'll try the fix just to be sure over the weekend unless anyone here thinks it to be redundant.
Again thank y'all

it worked, after a bit of here and there!
Hi Lovefro, I know the article says it works out of the box - it does, but not as well. Having used the official Realtek driver for a while now it definitely works better. I noticed that the reception went down after upgrading the kernel (and reverting to the old driver).Quote:

***IMPORTANT BATTERY FIRMWARE UPDATE ONLY APPLICABLE FROM WINDOWS***
There is an important firmware update for the battery that you, at the moment, can only install from windows. Make sure you install it before you purge windows from your harddrive.
You can install the update with this utility, or from the preinstalled ThinkVantage Toolbox.Quote:
Version 1.02
[Important] Fixed an issue where the battery indicated incorrect full charge capacity then the battery life might be reduced.
Based on this link, I don't think there's any other way of doing the update.

Works, albeit very slowly. Might be due to low swappiness.
Microphone
Works after unmuting, had to increase input volume to max to be audible in skype.

TouchPad/TrackPoint
TrackPoint scrolling works via gpointing-device-settings after following this guide.
Haven't got two-finger scrolling working yet. Have disabled TouchPad in favor of TrackPoint because of this.
gpointing-device-settings are forgotten after suspend, but work after reboot. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...gs/+bug/489830
Wireless-N
Is currently software disabled, works after applying the solution from this post. The Intel Centrino Wireless-N only operates in the 2.4GHz sprectrum, although 300Mbps is theoretically possible I only achieve 65Mbps at the moment.

Suspend mode freeze Solution; The following worked for my thinkpad edge 13 intel (I did not update my bios)
Solution here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...97&postcount=4
I have the thinkpad edge AMD model. When plugging in after running from batter the system will freeze. Disabling CPU scaling in the bios prevents this, but battery life is very poor after. Is there a solution to this?
Thanks
This is a known bug with no solution yet. Pages 6 and 7 of this thread has discussions of this problem.
Hey, I still have many Problems with Ubuntu 10.10 and my Edge 11 AMD Version.
On 24 or 25 of Dezember I made an auto-Update of Ubuntu, since this Update my Wifi does not work any longer. (Installed the Realtek Driver as descriped) I tried to install the driver again, but it dont solved my Problem. So I only have Internet connection via Ethernet.
(Other Problems: Sound via Headphones dont work and the internal Mic)
I am very bad in Ubuntu, so I would need something like an description for dummies :-(
Thank u all for trieing to help me.
PS: I googled my problem but I dont found anything similuar, but I think it must be something, maybe my english is to bad to find the solution in other forums.
The fix to the headphone/speaker sound problem (appending an option to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf) didn't work for me. I made a work-around:
with python-alsaaudio.Code:#! /usr/bin/env python
# sound fix
import alsaaudio
# get speakers and headphones
Speakers = alsaaudio.Mixer("Speaker")
Headphones = alsaaudio.Mixer("Headphone")
# switch volumes
if Speakers.getvolume()[0] == 0:
newSpeakerVolume = 100
newHeadphoneVolume = 0
else:
newSpeakerVolume = 0
newHeadphoneVolume = 100
# set volumes
Speakers.setvolume(newSpeakerVolume, alsaaudio.MIXER_CHANNEL_ALL)
Headphones.setvolume(newHeadphoneVolume, alsaaudio.MIXER_CHANNEL_ALL
Then I made a keyboard shortcut to run it. It seems to work pretty well so far.
@yyon
First question is this proceder for "EDGE 11"?
I tried ur way, but I must do something wrong, first I installed python-alsaaudio, then I tipped the code into Terminal, but there come only errors...
Maybe u can tell me what I do wrong. (Tried to open the file manual, but I can not write there...)
I must say, I am very new on Ubuntu, excuse my stupid questions.
Thank U
PS. I postet 2 days ago something about my Wifi, maybe u can help me there to, or give me a Tip, where I can found help?
