Howdy,
Long time no see. :-)
T430, T61 and x220 owner here. Welcome to the family!
I got a good deal, $200. I got an Intel graphics model to avoid the whole ATI mess.
If youll be using network manager, everything will be basically seamless. Does slackware use nm?
Yes, and wicd. Wicd is optional. NM is part of the default installation. I presume then I start NM from the rc.d scripts but configure NM from Trinity? KControl?
Is NM designed that when I am connected to wired that NM uses that rather wireless?
