Notes

Work in progress - give me some days to finish this mess below

I. Sound

Since hardware detection routines on Linux misinterpret the built-in soundchip, sound does not work out of the box, although the sound chip is perfectly supported in Linux.

So you need to tell the system manually to use the right sound driver.

First, you need to make sure that the wrong sound driver is not being loaded from the hardware detection routine. Edit the driver blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add these lines:

# To fix the sound issue on the Thinkpad 600e

blacklist snd_cs46xx

Second, tell the system which drivers to load instead by adding the following lines to /etc/rc.local:

modprobe ad1848 modprobe uart401 modprobe snd-cs4236

Third, and that will be the hardest task, find out the right hardware addresse, IRQ and DMA channel of your sound device: --> PS2.exe, Link to guides here

II. PCMCIA

In order to get PCMCIA working, you need to add at least the following kernel parameter: pci=noacpi

Some people (depending on your BIOS settings) also need in addition: pnpbios=off acpi=off

III. PCMCIA network cards

1. Netgear FA511 (LAN / Ethernet)

2. Netgear WG511 (WLAN)
