On the upside, all the hardware worked on 7.2 out of the box, after I swapped the internal broadcom wifi for a highpower atheros. The ACPI is a real nightmare on it, however. dmesg is constantly full of acpi barfs, and it hangs on shutdown, and won't suspend, which is pretty much a requirement for a notebook at my house. Tried all the standard lenovo acpi hacks, but no luck. Steve
