A little while ago I was asking for help in getting a Netgear WG511 card working. Now I don't have to bother any more because someone stole my Latitude laptop from a hotel room when I was on holiday recently. They also stole the room key from reception.
I am hoping to get an IBM Thinkpad R51 from the insurance as it's about equivalent to the Dell. I understand that Thinkpads are pretty compatible with Linux and wondered if any of you have experience of this particular model?
Graphics chip is Intel Extreme Graphics 2. 56K V.92 modem (No other details given except that I think it's an internal PCI modem - sounds nasty) Wireless is Intel 802.11bg and Bluetooth (Not interested in the Bluetooth) Integrated Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet
Are the above likely to work?
Am I likely to have any problems with a PCMCIA CompactFlash reader?
Regards to all.
