Greetings, everyone. I’m thinking seriously about purchasing a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E520 with the upgraded Intel Core i5-2520M processor (3M Cache, 2.50 GHz).
Will install SuSE 11.4 (with KDE 3.5).
I’m presented with these no-charge options for the Wifi wireless LAN adaptor.
1) ThinkPad b/g/n
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000
Has anyone had any experience good or bad with either of these adapters and the Edge E520? Your recommendations?
And how does the Edge E520 work out of the box now with 11.4? I know that last year there were some unfavorable comments when using SuSE 11.3, but it seems that 11.4 is better (at least on a desktop).
Your thoughts and recommendations on this and any other matter related to the Edge E520 are greatly appreciated.
Don’t know if you’re still interested, but I’ve just installed 12.1 on an E520, and it works ‘out of the box’. Wireless, sound, mouse and all buttons and the little red doo-hickey mouse all recognised and working. Bluetooth is recognised, but haven’t been able to test just yet. Will test the HDMI out on Monday at work, to see if I can get dual screen output. Will update then. Will also update the hardware compatibility list if its still going
So, you shouldn’t have it differently. The problems with the ATI driver reported there, don’t apply anymore as they were solved by the successive upgrades. Install them!
Also, there were some issues related to systemd reported in this forum and elsewhere. They were also solved as well. Thanks to the people who worked on them!
