Ihave a Thinkpad 600E, which was difficult to get going
under 2.4.x/hotplug
o I used a xircom combo ethernet/modem. The modem collided
with the internal winmodem and the hot plug scripts thought
the ethernet card was a modem (or the modem was an ethernet
card, forget which). I got this sorted out by subscribing to
the hotplug mailing list.
o the sound worked via a recipe I found on the internet
Now with 2.6.x/udev, none of these work anymore.
I would be careful of laptops with internal winmodems
