Home internet connection? Unlikely, or it sounds like an early BIOS with interrupt mapping issues. Alternatively you are waiting for improvements in the MCLGETI stuff to as the MP locking situation changes over time. It is an interesting machine, highly economical without the ARM complexity. Hope it keeps improving, or that good hardware of the same variety comes from other vendors. Love it or hate it, some platforms are better supported. This is the new vax. If you hate it, write code for the new platforms or shuttup. There is always some sort of status quo... > Hardware wise everything is recognized in dmesg.

Laptops don't run at 30C like they did 10 years ago -- thermal envelope expanded and pants became more insulating because people wanted more speed. Noone knows which way the future goes.
