[ltp] Ubuntu Dapper Drake working fine with Thinkpad T60

[Sean Kelley]

Just an fyi

Make sure that you use only this kernel with dapper, not the most recent:

 linux-image-2.6.15-23-686 works fine and never had a problem.  I have
reliable suspend2ram/disk and aticonfig powerstate setting with this
kernel

There is a bug report fliled with Again, linux-image-2.6.15-25-686
