No linux support for the internal wireless network card.

There are workarounds and such in progress, but its very frustrating.

Besides that, as mentioned, great machines, get the IBM, they are the best.
Yeah, that annoys me too. I keep wanting to make my T40 dual boot, until I remember that I wouldnt be able to use the wireless card. Bastards.

And yeah, I am also a big fan of IBM laptops. I wont buy IBM desktops, but I wont buy anything but IBM laptops.
