while not the same, I do run NetBSD on a T41 and it works like a charme. 
Network wired and wireless (although a couple of cards exist, I have the 
original IBM intel card and it works fine, I als previously got it 
working with an unofficial ath card by patching the BIOS; however not 
with an unoffical intel card, even if the same HW as the now installed 
FRU part).

No complaints at all!
