This notebook needs new BIOS '''V1.16'''. With previos bios after every reboot Wireless radio is off, and you *can't* activate it with keyboard (Fn + F1) from linux.


== Procedure for BIOS update ==

Download location is http://support.fujitsu-siemens.com/com/support/linkapplication.html?LNG=EN&ProductID=25493

You get download BIOS update when you uncheck option "only supported operating systems". 

After that, I suggest to get FreeDOS ISO image (cca 26 MB) and burn it to the CD.

Boot Flash update CD, start FLASH.EXE and wait for green message box - "upgrade successful".

== When you have BIOS 1.16 ==

Under Advanced/Wireles Device/'''Wireless Radio''' -> Enabled

On reboot, you will see wifi led activated (right corner, on the front of notebook)


== It just works with linux kernel ... ==

It works out of box with 2.6.28 kernel (ubuntu jaunty alpha 3), and 2.6.29-rc3
