Hi everybody, I am using an Acer TM 290LCi and besides the problems with the Centrino (no wifi-support yet) it is a great machine. It is running incredibly long on battery and it is silent and fast. I also made an install from Knoppix CD. Touchpad, sound and cdwriter worked right away, ACPI was a little more difficult. Network Card wasn't a problem. Modem still is. I have the driver installed as serial #15 but cannot make a connection.
Oliver: don't they all use that pctel-driver? Check it out at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux/ That one is supposed to be working with most winmodems. Let us know how it turns out!
