On one laptop I had (and maybe this is common), the modem's audio was

I just wanted to let people know that I had no trouble putting Debian
on my new IBM X30. I had to use the linux-wlan prism2_pci driver (not

well, but everything else was just great.

Why not just ask someone with the same laptop what their partition

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Even if I can access my USB device, if I have to turn off Plug And Play OS
in the BIOS I then can't use my ethernet card! Anyone have any suggestions?
