/etc/modules is just used to list modules (sans .o extension) that should be
loaded at boot by the boot scripts.
so, what you meant to say, was: add 'bcm5700' to /etc/modules and reboot,
or to avoid rebooting, run 'modprobe bcm5700'.

No. the pcmcia scripts will call ifup/ifdown whenever a card is
inserted/removed, and it deems the card is a network device. For this to
work, you must make sure there is no 'auto' line for
? This is half of the trouble with all the tools available
for different bits of laptop usage, they all overlap and don't play nice. My
solution is to use as little as possible, and that means pcmcia-cs only.
anything else, I do by hand.

apm -s and apm -S worked on my T30 (2.6 kernels, with X)

hi!
i just installed potato on my new vaio, and most stuff works pretty fine
so far. but "halt -p"/poweroff does not power down the machine, the last
message is something like "power down", and then the machine keeps running
in that state. any black magic i forgot to appl
ation.
i'm quite happy about the notebook (though i'd buy the z505s next time,
no need for the PII for me), especially size (sub A4, 1" high) and (lack
of) weight (1.5 kg) make it a perfect choice for taking it with you. the
only downside is batterylife (about 1h with the included bat

I must say Debian's great on the laptop - much faster than SuSE or Mandrake
7 I had installed previously.

lockups also happened with every other card i tried (2 or 3

maybe the sysreq magic key should enabled be in the default kernel to get
