PB5,7 much the same. I can run the deb kernel, witch as we speak now is 2.6.22-3 deb style. It works good enought except the bcm43xx requires a strong signal to connect. 2.6.24 vanilla just don't always resume the keyboard, it handles the mouse each time, but will not resume keyboard activity. Yeah well, this one time I noticed that just after X resumed I could multitask to console. Here I could do anything, till I resumed X again.
