Dear Daniel,

Thank you for your fast reply! I'm glad I'm able to install Ubuntu on a laptop (to enhance the perspective of my knowledge and programming skills).
But: I've managed a working c82f before, through the forum, so I'm willing to give this a go!
When an update of the kernel, as you mentioned, is there, I hope I will recognize the fix. Kudos for everyone who's busy fixing the Lenovo / Realtek issue!!

Kind regards,
Christian.
