Internet connection (nVidia MCP51 Ethernet Controller) works out of the box, but the sound does not work (Driver Misconfigured!) Broadcom BCM94311MCG wlan does not work as well as ACPI (Driver Missing!). 2008.05 works well with Intel devices, as it configured my other laptop with Intel wlan interface, but unfortunately would not work with BCM5906M. This version 2008.05 live cd looks great!

Grab the opensound drivers and it'll work. But be warned, it comes up with the input mixer (internal microphone) set to high. Be ready to hit mute the moment it initialises, otherwise you'll hit a piercing feedback beep. Once it's up you can run the mixer app to set it to a respectable level. I have the same Lenovo T61.
