Oh, But suspend to disk is slower than ppc sleep function, If we can found the way do nVidia chip wakeup is better. I has try to port suspend ppc,but not completed, I not family with powerpc assemble, So it's hard to do it.

I heard other guys do Broadcom 4301 for linux with reverse-engineering. The Airport Extme is 4306? If the project has complete, the 4306 support in apple will be easy? is right? thanks. -- Hu Gang / Steve RLU# : 204016 [1999] (Registered Linux user) GPG Public Key: http://soulinfo.com/~hugang/HuGang.asc
