I am running RedHat 7.2 and apart from what you mentioned below about
the modem everything works. The only problem I have is that if a card is
left in the PCMCIA slot on suspend then it does not suspend. I have
tried the latest 2.5 kernel and playing with PCMCIA configs and
cannot get it suspend to work without manually ejecting any card in a
PCMCIA slot.
I have not had a lot of feedback on this forum on this subject but it
has been suggested this behavior happens with all Thinkpads. It has to
be something to do with Linux as suspend / resume works fine under M$. I
do not know if anyone is looking into this option or not.
Apart from PCMCIA and modem everything I needed seems to work. I have
not tested the firewire but hopefully will in the next couple of weeks.
