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 on the PC, so I decide to install the
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 . 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, 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
and watch movies under my new laptop now.
