Lenovo ThinkPad T60p review

Few computers have more right to the term "business machine" than the ThinkPad laptop series -- and not just because the brand was developed by a company named International Business Machines (IBM). Traditionally ThinkPads have been built for speed and durability, but recently GNU/Linux users have discovered that the ThinkPad is built for compatibility as well. The latest in the ThinkPad T series is a landmark in several ways: it's the first to use a Core Duo processor; the first to be made and sold by Lenovo instead of IBM; and the first to offer official manufacturer support for GNU/Linux.

Are you saying that the ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 graphics card and the Intel 3945 WLAN hardware work under SLED 10, after having installed that OS separately? That would be a surprise, quite contrary to my experience.

It's the ATI FireGL V5200, not the Mobility Radeon X1400. The Intel wireless chip will work, but if I recall correctly, I needed to install the system with the wired network connected in order to get initial updates. This may be the solution to your problem as well.
