[TriLUG] Problems with SuSE 9.3 on IBM Laptop

[Israel J Pattison]

David,

I hate reading messages to the effect of "mine works fine, what's your 
problem", but I've been running SuSE 9.2 and upgraded to SuSE 9.3 on my 
Thinkpad T22 for over a year, and have had almost no problems at all. 

At the worst I have to restart my network sometimes if I move between 
wireless access points. I didn't do anything special, just installed. I'm 
using a Linksys 802.11a/b/g PC Card (I think that's an Aironet card).

SuSE 9.3 added some really nice features like support for suspend to disk. I 
love that I can close my laptop and take it some where and then start it up 
right where I left off.

I wish you good luck with your 600X. When you get it working properly I 
think you'll have a great time with it.

Israel
