Volume buttons were originally causing software mixer to change volume. As the T23 has a hardware mixer, this was causing the volume range to be reduced since both were adjusted at the same time. Upon attempting to disable the adjustment I came across hotkey-setup and thinkpad-keys. I ran them in an attempt to see what they did. The net effect of this was that it seemed to bork the configuration of the volume keys (ie, they didn't work). Although this is what I wanted, it wasn't the way I wanted to do it (I since discovered that the keys are configured under system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts). The keys seem not to generate events any longer. Warrants further investigation. | Volume buttons were originally causing software mixer to change volume.

Notes
volume buttons
Volume buttons were originally causing software mixer to change volume. As the T23 has a hardware mixer, this was causing the volume range to be reduced since both were adjusted at the same time. Upon attempting to disable the adjustment I came across hotkey-setup and thinkpad-keys. I ran them in an attempt to see what they did. The net effect of this was that it seemed to bork the configuration of the volume keys (ie, they didn't work). Although this is what I wanted, it wasn't the way I wanted to do it (I since discovered that the keys are configured under system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts). The keys seem not to generate events any longer. Warrants further investigation.
Installed tpb for the overlay, which uninstalled hotkey-setup. Overlay worked the first time, but did not on subsequent reboots.
wireless
When I first installed ubuntu, I could not seem to get wireless to work (configuring it with system->administration->networking). I gave up on it for a while. When I tried it again later on, it worked. I didn't install any updates (since I had no network) so I assume it was probably me typing the WEP key incorrectly.
