  • No Linux drivers for the IdeaPad-specific functionality exists.
  • Brighness control does not work well, something is interacting rather badly with the brightness control in gnome/hal, so the brightness control is rather erratic
  • Intel 5100AGN Wifi does not work (but according to [1] support is coming soon.
  • The ethernet port acts up a bit and sometimes does not work at all and usually fails to run at 1000 MBit.

Nov 15, Fedora 10 preview (kernel-2.6.27.5-101.fc10) update:

  • Still no drivers for IdeaPad-specific buttons, since thinkpad-acpi does not apply
  • Brightness control works, apart from the fact that it's reversed (Fix exists: [2])
  • Wireless seem to work flawlessly
  • Switch to a text console form X11 dissorts the text console with intel GPU, unless you use VESA frame buffer console
    • Add vga=0x318 to kernel command line if you need text console
