A few tips: The sl-modem drivers are in debian (testing and unstable), package names: sl-modem-daemon - SmartLink software modem daemon sl-modem-source - SmartLink software modem driver - module building source They are a breeze to install using debian make-kpkg And for the w-lan card check out http://ipw2100.sf.net, Intel and the community are writing an open-source driver. > The only things that didn´ t work out of the box are the accelerated ati > drivers for the Ati Mobility 9600 M10 (RV350) and the > standby/suspend/hibernate modes.

There is a patch somewhere in acpi bugzilla, bug number 1588. It remedied the resume problem for me a couple of kernels ago =) But I don't use it anymore so I don't know it's status The ony problems I have had with hibernation (software suspend 1 and 2) are AGPART and DRI related. The drivers didn't support it, so the computer hanged/restarted on resume. Disabling them fixed the problem (but gave much worse X performance). You might try it. > Btw, did I mention I tried both kernels 2.6 and 2.4 ? Well, since 2.6 works > better with anything else, I will stick to that. Stick with 2.6.x. And don't forget to compile the cpufreq support and it's centrino driver. Also take a look at laptop-mode (http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsamwel/laptop_mode/index.html). /B - -- * GPG-Key: http://evil.gnarf.org/mrbk.pgp A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
