Hi, I just got a brand new Thinkpad A20m and I'm trying to configure it as best as possible. I've got most things working but here are a few things I'm having problems with: - Network card: I read a few dsites that say that the internal netcard is supposed to be a eepro100. When I try to modprobe that module, I get /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/net/eepro100.o: init_module: Device or resource busy /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/net/eepro100.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/net/eepro100.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/net/eepro100.o: insmod eepro100 failed so it doesn't look like this is what I have. Anyone have an idea what netcard is in the motherboard? Has anyone had success in using the builtin card? For the time being I can get by with the PCMCIA card but I will eventually have to ditch it. - Has anyone managed to make the internal modem work? It's a winmodem. I trid to use the lucent module but when I dial and it tries to connect, I get a kernel panic. The message I saw when the panic occured what that the init process wasw killed. I tried the ltmodem program found at http://www.ltmodems.org but it says it doesn't recognise the device. It's trying to find a ISA device but it's a PCI device. This is what I get as a message. I'll also try the ltmodem list: ltmodem version 0.9.9 No ISAPNP support; Lucent ISA PnP modem can't be found. 00:03.0 Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics: Unknown device 0449 (rev 01) Mars chipset detected.

Rom checksum is Returning zero, checksum failed? 0. ERROR: Unknown chipset/version.# Country is set to United Kingdom # Initializing modem... Resetting modem... ..... Rom checksum is Returning zero, checksum failed? 0. ERROR: Unknown chipset/version.# fail - I managed to make the audio subsytem work by using the ALSA drivers. Unfortunately, if I suspend the system, when I restart it the whole audio subsytem is gone. The modules are still loaded but I can't get any sound to work. Any one know how to fix this problem? - Another problem with the audio stuffis that sometimes when I boot, the driver for the sound card tries to get loaded and it hangs the system. I have to turn it off and try again and that usually fixes it. I'm not sure if the problem happens only when I warm reboot the system or if it also happens on a cold reboot. Anyone else see this? - Speaking of suspending the system: how do you do that? If I try to use the keyboard, I get this error: Oct 15 13:11:54 lduperva kernel: keyboard: unknown scancode e0 63 Oct 15 13:11:55 lduperva last message repeated 29 times Oct 15 13:11:55 lduperva kernel: vortex_suspend(eth0) Oct 15 13:11:55 lduperva kernel: cs: cb_disable(bus 5) Oct 15 13:11:55 lduperva kernel: cs: received extra suspend event Oct 15 13:11:55 lduperva last message repeated 18 times Oct 15 13:11:55 lduperva kernel: apm: an event queue overflowed Oct 15 13:11:56 lduperva kernel: keyboard: unknown scancode e0 63 I get similar event queue overflowed errors when I close the cover. The only way I've found to suspend the system is to KILL -HUP the apmd process. I *know* there has to be a better way. Any ideas? Well, I figure that's enough for now.
