This is not quite true. Older IBM manufactured Thinkpads are most likely to work, but a number of newer Lenovo models have been problematic. When attempting to determine what models (Lenovo, or any other manufacturer...), are supported & to what degree, it is always prudent to search through the archives of the official misc@ mailing list first.

Also note that manufacturers also tend to change components during the lifetime of any model. Just because some dmesg(1) output posted to misc@ states someone's success with a particular model, take the information as being pliable. Newer units may be different.
