== Suspend/resume workaround ==

I managed to get suspend/resume working by disabling Bluetooth.

===== which way? =====
How did you disable bluetooth?
Did you try unloading the bluetooth kernel module in the sleep script and loading it again on resume? Or did you use a hardware switch or maybe soft disabling the device in /sys/ /proc/ or something?

== Active Protection System ==
First: I hope, my english isn't to bad.

I managed to get the HDAPS working under Ubuntu 8.10, but I didn't gain any experience, if the system runs stable. So Test the following at your own risk.

It would be nice, if somebody could verify my mini tutorial. Ok, let's go.

* Add the jaunty repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list (main and restricted) and run sudo apt-get update.
* Install the 2.6.28 kernel: linux-image, linux-restricted-modules, linux-headers, linux-headers-*-generic. Thereby you must update linux-firmware, libc6-dev and libc6.
* Comment the jaunty repository out and run sudo apt-get update. Then install module-assistant.
* Search the modules thinkpad_ec.ko and hdaps.ko and rename them (of the new installed kernel).
* Get the Debian packages tp-smapi-source and hdapsd out of the experimental tree.
* Build and install tp-smapi by (as I did it, only build-essential get installed)
 sudo module-assistant prepare tp-smapi
 sudo module-assistant auto-install tp-smapi
* Create /etc/modprobe.conf and add the following lines:
 options thinkpad_ec force_io=1
 options hdaps invert=1
The issue for the first line is describe in the tp-smapi doc. I checked the output of hdaps by hdaps-gl (part of hdaps-utils). To get an proper output, I needed to add this parameter (see tp-smapi doc too).
* The following command is described in and copied from [[HDAPS#Userspace daemon]]:
 echo 'KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event"' \
  > /etc/udev/rules.d/51-hdaps.rules
* At last, install the hdapsd, you downloaded.
* Have Fun!

How did you get tp_smapi installed with the option HDAPS=1 in module-assistant?
HDAPSD form ubuntu sources is too old, it will not work! The initiation script also needs to be edited!
I made an step by step guide on [[Install Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) on a ThinkPad T400]]! With this steps it works for me, it also starts automatically after an reboot!

== UTMS for my T500 ==

Hi!

I just installed ubuntu on my new T500 (thanks for the article about how to do so). Now nearly everything works fine, but the integrated UMTS/HSDPA (mobile broadband) functionality is not working yet.
I added a new connection in the "Network Connections => Mobile Broadband" dialog (Vodafone D2 in germany) but after trying to connect it imediatly says "Disconnected - The network connection has been disconnected". I've been using my UMTS-contract with Ubuntu 8.10 successfully on my Dell laptop.

The "Network Tools => Devices" dialog gives me the following options for network devices:
 Loopback Interface (lo)
 Ethernet Interface (eth0)
 Unknown Interface (wmaster0)
 Wireless Interface (wlan0)
Seems as if the utms card is unknown to the system, doesn't it?
Do I have to install some drivers or tools for this integrated card?--[[User:Slartidan|Slartidan]] 15:21, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

PS: lsusb and some reasearch told me, that I have an '''"Ericsson F3507g WWAN Card"''' in my ThinkPad T500 NJ252GE
I found some Information about that card with ubuntu here: [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=934013] (but I'm not sure, wether I know how to compile a kernel...)

lsusb says:
 Bus 008 Device 002: ID 0bdb:1900 Ericsson Business Mobile Networks BV
