Thinkpad twist

= Thinkpad Twist (s230u) = Using a standard stage3 installation everything should pretty much work out of the box.

Keyboard
for some reason on kernels >= 4.2 the keyboard, trackpoint and touchpad are not working on the first boot. To work around this problem add i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset to your kernel command line:

WiFi
the wifi chip is a Intel Wireless-N 2230 as lspic shows 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4)

enable the required kernel modules: Device Drivers ---> [*] Network device support ---> --- Network device support [*]  Wireless LAN  ---> --- Wireless LAN [ ]  ADMtek devices [ ]  Atheros/Qualcomm devices [ ]  Atmel devices [ ]  Broadcom devices [ ]  Cisco devices [*]  Intel devices < >    Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection < >    Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG Network Connection < >    Intel Wireless WiFi 4965AGN (iwl4965) < >    Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection (iwl3945) <*>    Intel Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN - Wireless-N/Advanced-N/Ultimate-N (iwlwifi) <*>      Intel Wireless WiFi DVM Firmware support < >      Intel Wireless WiFi MVM Firmware support the modules need an additional firmware

if you are building the modules directly into the kernel enable the Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary option Device Drivers ---> Generic Driver Options ---> -*- Userspace firmware loading support [*]  Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary (iwlwifi-2030-6.ucode) External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary (/lib64/firmware) Firmware blobs root directory [ ] Fallback user-helper invocation for firmware see When using built in configuration

Audio / Video
the sound card work out of the box for usb mic/soundcard enable: Device Drivers ---> <*> Sound card support ---> <*>  Advanced Linux Sound Architecture  ---> [*]  USB sound devices  --->   USB Audio/MIDI driver

the integratged webcam is also USB

Device Drivers --->  Multimedia support ---> [*] Media USB Adapters ---> [M] USB Video Class (UVC)

Card Reader
the card reader is an RTS5229 PCI Express Card Reader - the driver comes with a package rather than with the kernel itself so make sure to deselect: Device Drivers ---> Misc devices---> < > Realtek PCI-E card reader and emerge

don't forget to re-emerge when installing a new kernel
