I'm looking at building a new kernel for my laptop (an IBM Thinkpad
T40), and one of the things I'm looking at is adding ACPI support.
The ACPI HOWTO suggests that the Debian kernel source includes the
ACPI patch, but the kernel-source-2.4.21 README.Debian doesn't
explicitly call this out, and the
My laptop has two fixed (e.g., not PCMCIA) network cards, one wired
and one wireless (802.11a/b combo). Both are set up by default to use
DHCP in /etc/network/interfaces, and right now the wired card comes up
first. I'd like to not wait to a DHCP timeout if I don't need to. I
