Funny on my X61 everything works including wifi and suspend. The only
mild issue I have is that the icons on the panel in kde-4 goes missing
after a reboot.

I posted here a week ago with several complaints about 11.1, some of which were legitimate and others which were just "whines".
Whines: -taskbar is hard to configure (I'll just get over myself on that) -Some kde4 application settings (konsole tab button for instance) seem to get lost between sessions. -konqueror no longer has a picture view mode, (I installed google picassa, which is quite nice).
Real problems: -The kernel shipped with 11.1 locks up on this machine. No messages to the console log nor anywhere else I looked. it locks up with the caps lock and wifi leds flashing alternately. The only recourse is to power cycle the machine. I dealt with this by downloading and installing kernel 2.6.28-9, which is pretty new, but is very stable so far on this machine. Note that I had to get nvidia drivers from their beta area for this kernel, but that is also true of the 2.6.27 kernel shipped with 11.1.
-the machine will not suspend to ram or disk. Suspend to ram fails and restarts right away. There is a log but nothing in it points to a culprit. Suspend do disk seems to work, but resume just locks up with a blank screen. Vt's are not available. I'll just get along without this until it gets fixed. I would be happy to coordinate and test fixes as they are available....
-Knetworkmanager simply does not work for wifi connections. My adapter is an intel 4965. It works perfectly (with kernels 2.6.26,27,28) using the traditional ifup/ifdown method when configured correctly. But knetworkmanager will not connect or show any signs of progress when connecting (you just see the green icon). It eventually prints this message in the knetworkmanager log:
Dec 29 00:08:34 bilbo NetworkManager: <WARN> wait_for_connection_expired(): Connection (2) /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/Connection/0 failedto activate (timeout): (0) Connection was not provided by any settings service
I'll use ifup/down for now. I've no immediate plans to travel... I'll also "me too" the bug for this.
-Like most people with 64 bit machines I eagerly await a 64 bit java plugin for firefox. I'm currently running the 32 bit version of firefox and the plugin. Most things work this way, but not my juniper sslvpn connection. It gets segfaults in varous places, which I suspect is related to not having the correct version of some lib somewhere... I can also use vpnc for my vpn and it connects nicely and is reliable.
Hopefully other Thinkpad owners will find this useful.
