To be fair -- the unsupported things on my X60 are:
-- SD slot. I know there is something in the works, but did not look at
it. Probably irrelevant here as it does not exist on T41/T42.
-- modem. As, I suspect, is the case with T41/T42.
-- suspend. Which, AFAIK, is the mixed bag on T41/T42.

The rest is working quite well. I did order it with the Atheros card
though... and this brings us to the important point -- T41, T42 or X60
for that matter, are fairly broad designations, which cover serious
variety of the wireless cards, network chipsets, video cards, LCD
resolutions and CPU (if I am not mistaken latest X60 uses Core Duo 2,
while mine -- model 1709-73U -- uses 32-bit Core Duo). One, really ought
to look at the specific model's inventory.
