View source for Installing OpenSUSE Leap 42.1 on a ThinkPad T430s

== Model ==
Lenovo Thinkpad {{T430s}} 2356-LPG, BIOS G7ETA4WW (2.64), Firmware G7HT39WW (1.15)

== General ==
This installation instruction describes these parts that do not or do not completely work after my {{OpenSUSE}} Leap 42.1 installation using KDE. If anything does not work as expected, please have a look at the older {{Install|OpenSUSE| 13.2| T430s}} for possible workarounds that I forgot to mention here.

== Graphics ==
Using the default BIOS settings, the [[Switchable Graphics]] with [[Intel HD Graphics]] and [[NVIDIA Optimus]] may cause high power consumption. Thus, if you do not need the NVIDIA Optimus graphics, change the BIOS settings from Switchable to Internal graphics ''before'' installation. Please read [[Switchable Graphics]] for the pros and cons. Note that I did ''not'' test the NVIDIA Optimus graphics.
{{NOTE|Any time you change the BIOS setting after installation, you may have to execute {{cmdroot|mkinitrd}} in order to prevent loading of unnecessary modules.}}

== Network ==

=== Bluetooth: Broadcom BCM20702 ===
The non-persistent firmware of this Bluetooth 4.0 adapter (USB ID 0a5c:21e6) can be updated by the kernel by installing [https://software.opensuse.org/package/bcm20702a1-firmware bcm20702a1-firmware].

{{NOTE|
Actually, the kernel needs the firmware patch file {{path|/lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e6.hcd}} that is provided by the package mentioned above. To get this file manually, download the current {{LNVDOCURL|DS103428|ThinkPad Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Software for Windows 10}} installer and extract it using [https://software.opensuse.org/package/innoextract innoextract]. Then, convert the Windows firmware hex file {{path|app/Win64/BCM20702A1_001.002.014.1443.1453.hex}} using {{cmd|hex2hcd|}} from [https://software.opensuse.org/package/bluez bluez] and move the resulting hcd file to {{path|/lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e6.hcd}}.}}

{{HINT|
If you have a different Broadcom adapter, check the kernel log lines containing <tt>BCM</tt> for the name of the firmware patch file and the USB ID. Then, search for your USB ID (0a5c:21e6 would be written as <tt>USB\VID_0A5C&PID_21E6</tt>) in {{path|app/Win64/bcbtums-win8x64-brcm.inf}} of the extracted Windows installer. The first part of this line will define a <tt>DeviceDesc</tt> like <tt>BlueRAMUSB21E6</tt>. Search again for a section containing this string that defines <tt>CopyFiles</tt> like <tt>RAMUSB21E6.CopyList</tt>. Then search for the section named like this string, it contains the correct name of the firmware hex file.}}

=== GPS ===
The [[Ericsson H5321 gw Mobile Broadband Module|Ericsson HSPA+ WWAN Minicard (H5321gw)]] must be configured every time before it emits GPS data, see [[Ericsson H5321 gw Mobile Broadband Module#GPS|H5321gw GPS]].

== Power Management ==
Suspend to RAM works out of the box. Since I do not have a swap partition, I did not test suspend to disk.
