Re: Thinkpad Edge 14 intel wireless progress

I have a Thinkpad Edge 14. It works flawlessly out of the box with Arch.  Everything works!

Assuming you are using the built-in wifi, you do not need a realtek wireless driver with this laptop.  You need the iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode firmware and the iwlagn kernel module.  I use wicd to manage my wireless connections with 100% success.

My laptop has the i3 processor, intel graphics, intel wireless.  I'd be happy to answer any questions.
