Chinese X201e Networking Drivers #5
Description
After receiving our first X201e notebook from a supplier in China last week, we discovered that neither the wired or wireless networking hardware was supported in 12.04. Working drivers listed below:
Wireless:
When we received the notebook we discovered it uses a different wireless network card than that listed on the ubuntu website (the guys at Yujin received the notebook with the AR9485, which is supported in 12.04).
Our model uses the BCM 4365 for wireless instead, and a working driver for this can be found below:
Wired:
Our notebook uses the AR8162 for Ethernet, as listed on the ubuntu website and received by Yujin. This also appears not to be supported by default in 12.04, so all versions of the X201e would need a driver for this hardware. The working one I found can be found at the link below:

These are the only combinations of drivers that I have found so far that will play nicely with each other. Would be great if we could get them included in the ISO, but not sure if they will conflict with drivers for hardware anyone else is using?
