A defconfig is sufficent for the machine to boot. Sound and WIFI must be manu- ally enabled. A firmware blob for INTEL Centrino Advanced-N 6205 is necessary. It can be found in the root directory of the proprietary kernel firmware. Think- Pad specific ACPI options can be enabled.
$ make defconfig
$ cp iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode /usr/lib/firmware
.config:
CONFIG_IWLWIFI=y
CONFIG_IWLDVM=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/usr/lib/firmware"
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK=y
CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI=y
