Hallo, Richard,

"hwinfo" doesn't report "Thinkpad" on my T22.
But "lspci -v | grep -iq Thinkpad" seems to find the machines.
Maybe "grep -q ThinkPad" fits too - I don't know how precise the entries
in "/usr/share/pci.ids" are.
It's a fine test: very quick and simple.
Thank you again!
Viele Gruesse!
