Issues

As of Oct 1, 2009 with Fedora 9 and kernel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.x86_64.

  • 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.
