Hey, where did you get that Avi? For a long time I’ve been looking for a Thinkpad here in Brazil for a affordable price. Unfortunately you can find only HP, Dell, Sony and Toshiba models here under R$3000.

Petrosyan, Gnome detects them because something appears on the screen when I press it, but the brightness does not change, and this program that captures this action is slow and inneficient and almost hangs the system.

Do brightness keys (‘Fn+Home’ and ‘Fn+End’) work?

The wireless chip on this machine is a Intel 4965.

I had problems to make it work on Linux just because apps are not intuitive enough. But Fedora 8 has everything needed to make it work. RPM package iw4965 should be installed by default.

One thing I noticed: You won’t be able to connect to a WiFi network via the old system-config-network admin tool. Don’t ask me why.

Works this way:
You will have to start NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher system services so your desktop will show (after relogin) the connection icons on the tray. Then activate wireless connections and a dropdown box will appear with the WiFi networks found. Then just put your WEP or WPA or whatever key and you are done.
