[ltp] Several Problems with FC* and ThinkPad T42

[morpheus]

Well, I installed FC2 on my T42p and it worked out of the box.  I have
never had a freeze.  I use MadWiFi drivers for the wireless, which work
perfectly.  USB memory sticks show up as hard drives in dmesg and I just
mount them.  apci is also working fine, including CPU speed control.

You'll need to provide more details on your problems and system config
in order for us to help.  Especially, we need to know what wifi chipset
you're using (Atheros or Intel).
