Re: [BLUG] New Dell Ubuntu Laptop

And second surprise -- on the Thinkpad, everything works once you tell
the power management subsystem to unload USB modules before

Incidentally, Lenovo is following Dell's footsteps and preloading
Linux on the T61 too -- or should I say, re-starting IBM's
Linux-on-Thinkpad initiative. Hopefully they'll do as good a job as
Dell does.
