User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5.1i Resent-From: debian-laptop@lists.debian.org X-Mailing-List: <debian-laptop@lists.debian.org> archive/latest/20634 Hi there, I'm in the process of buying a new laptop, and I have to admit that I'm very attracted to the cute new 12" Apple iBook G4. But browsing through a few pages and asking around on IRC, it seems there's still some serious issues with it: - sleep mode: whereas previous iBooks had perfect Linux support for suspend, it doesn't (yet?) work on the newer G4. Any information on the development status? In short, is there any hope for a sleep support in the future? Is it scheduled? Etc. - Airport Extreme: not working, and apparently, might never work (no drivers, no specs, uncaring broadcom company). Any information on an open-source driver/work-around (with binary driver from OS X or something!?)? - no PCMCIA slot: I need wireless connectivity, and if I can't have Airport Extreme work, I'd like to be able to use my PCMCIA WiFi cards, at least! Does anyone know of an USB to PCMCIA converter that works with GNU/Linux? Or any other solution that would allow me to use PCMCIA on those iBooks? Thanks in advance for any pointers, answers, tips and the like! -- mike dentifrice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
