Ubuntu 8.04 on x61s
- Works out of the box using the standard desktop install. No problems switching between wireless networks.

Kubuntu Feisty
- I can only get the adapter to make one wireless connection per boot. If I get kicked off wireless or I try to change AP's I have to reboot. The restricted IPW driver tends to destabalize the system. The IWL driver is much more stable but still has the same connection problem. Any thoughts?? Lenovo R61i.

- [quote]Works out of the box in edgy. Requires restricted repository.[/quote]

Are you sure? I installed Networkmanager (from main - I have a WPA enabled router) and WiFi worked immediately. No need for any additional tasks.

Ubuntu
- With Edgy, all you have to do is install the linux-restricted-modules-generic package.

It works out-of the box in edgy (on a Z61m) without the need to install any additional packages, so I changed this info.

Ubuntu
- Ubuntu Dapper has already built in this drivers; it works out from the box.

Ubuntu (neither Dapper nor Edgy) have the ipw3945 drivers, so I've deleted the info. --Zhenech 15:19, 27 September 2006 (CEST)

All you have to do is to install the linux-restricted-modules-generic package. I've tested this using Edgy - it worked out of the box on a T60.
