Wireless Realtek Device 8172 (rev 10) in ThinkPad R500 inoperative
Asked by

I just purchased a brand new Lenovo ThinkPad R500 for personal use. I've always purchased IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads because of the remarkable hardware support I've had in Linux with them. Unfortunately, I am having problems with Ubuntu 9.04 & 9.10 with getting the WiFi and WebCam to work. I've looked in the forums and found that the NDISWRAPPER solution only works in 32-bit versions of the OS, which I'd hate to go back to. Is there any driver solution for these components (wireless & webcam) that won't require that I downgrade to a 32-bit OS?
