    I built some packages to make some features working on my ThinkPad, I guess I might as well post them since they are made and are working on my Thinkpad.

    (should work on any thinkpads with Pentium-M or above) http://axiomatization.googlepages.com/ubuntufeistydebpackagesforthinkpads

    For Intel wifi, you can re-use your old daemon, firmware by sym-linking, no re-compilation needed.

    I put it in the Lenovo sub-forum originally, but nobody was interested, then I figured I posted in a wrong forum :p

    I'm sure this will be very useful for Thinkpad owners.

    Have you patch the PHC undervolting feature yet? There is a patch for Intel and 2.6.20 patch. If not yet, check Linux-PHC from sourceforge. Really bad author hasn't release AMD version yet.

    I only added the 3 mentioned patches.
    I probably don't want to try PHC on my Core duo yet, maybe later. I am more looking forward to the tickless patch
