Yes, I was one of the beta-testers for the driver. It works very well now on my Thinkpad W500. Should work equally well on similar ones like the T500/T400. >[quote] >The following Intel Gigabit chipsets are suported by this >driver (the >number behind the network model is the vendor and chipset >ID): > >82566MM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1049] >[end] > >Just wondering if it provides anything more than the driver I >currently use on my T-61. Probably not, but the used code will most likely be newer, it is a direct port of the latest Linux driver for Gigabit cards. Perhaps handling of suspend/resume etc is better. I did not test that myself, never use suspend :-) >This driver doesn't work w/ wifi, only ethernet cabling. Correct, it is for Intel Gigabit ethernet cards only.
