I would never go to Lenovo for a linux driver unless you're running SLED10.

For the Intel, go to the Intel wireless site and get the compat-wireless 
package.  The one I have is from 5/3/08 and is 1.2.26kd.  I've been 
taking this approach for over a month and it's been stable.

The Ubuntu backports package should also be sufficient now as well...
