1.Introduction
I
purchased a Lenovo F31A laptop days ago, it is a great laptop except
the pre-installed OS VISTA, I really do not like it. As I have some
experence to use ubuntu on the PC, so I decide to install the Ubuntu
7.10 to the laptop. And the installation is very easy,just download
the iso file from ubutnu homepage and burn it to a CD-ROM, then use
this CD to boot laptop, follow the normal way to install ubuntu. It
can easily automaitcally detect almost all the hardware and install
the driver to them, except two hardware, the wireless card driver and
the sound driver.
WIRELESS
1.Download
a software named bcm43xx-fwcutter_20060108-6build1_i386.deb
and
install it.Here http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 you
will find more details about b43.
2.Click the icon on the right
above panel—Restricted Drivers, and enable the firmware for
broadcom 43xx chipset family, then it will pop-up a window ask you to
slect the firmware to download, pls choose the second one which is
http://xeve.de/down/wl_apsta.o
,after finishing the download,ubuntu will automatically install the
firmware.
SOUND
I
have tested all the alsa driver version, and some patches, which
still have no effect to drive my sound card. Finally I found this
article http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3768914&postcount=60
which help me to solve my sound card issue, so now I can listen
music and watch movies under my new laptop now.
