Issues

As of Oct 1, 2009 with Fedora 9 and kernel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.x86_64.

• No Linux drivers for the IdeaPad-specific functionality exists.
• Brighness control does not work well, something is interacting rather badly with the brightness control in gnome/hal, so the brightness control is rather erratic
• Intel 5100AGN Wifi does not work (but according to [1] support is coming soon.
• The ethernet port acts up a bit and sometimes does not work at all and usually fails to run at 1000 MBit.

Nov 15, Fedora 10 preview (kernel-2.6.27.5-101.fc10) update:

• Still no drivers for IdeaPad-specific buttons, since thinkpad-acpi does not apply
• Brightness control works, apart from the fact that it's reversed (Fix exists: [2])

    Also, the behavior is incorrect in another way.

• Wireless seem to work flawlessly
• Switch to a text console form X11 dissorts the text console with intel GPU, unless you use VESA frame buffer console
  • Add vga=0x318 to kernel command line if you need text console
