Ubuntu 7.10.  T61 (model 6466-55G).

Never used suspend to disk (I don't trust it -- besides, suspend to RAM
works and is much faster).

WLAN works fine, with rare hiccups (sometimes the closed-source
userpsace ipw3945d daemon just dies and wifi won't work until I manually
restart it).

Volume control works (although GNOME doesn't find a Master channel and
controls the Mic volume by default, until you set it straight).

  smbios.bios.vendor =3D 'LENOVO'  (string)
  smbios.bios.version =3D '7LETA7WW (2.07 )'  (string)
