I searched for 'thinkpad', but failed to find anything of relevance. Sorry.

Just for fun, I tried putting timer.[ch] and eepro100.c from etherboot 
5.1.0 into grub -- it compiled all right, but the machine I tried it on 
halted with 'Probing...' on the display. As far as I can tell, the probe 
routines changed completely in 5.1.0, and etherboot finally got a real 
nanosecond timer instead of an uncalibrated delay loop. I'll try and see 
whether I can cobble something together, knowing exactly zilch, zero, 
nothing about device driver programming.
