>Centrino Wifi worked out of the box, but I upgraded to the
ipw2200.sf.net drivers which are slightly more fully featured than the
stock-kernel ones ... other than that, I didn't get b/t but my usb
dongle "just worked". The 1400/1050 display ditto, suspend/resume works
fine as long as I don't use the vesafb console (no vga=788 etc on the
command-line).
I understand the smart-card reader doesn't work under Linux, but not
having a smart-card with which to test it, I'm not bothered ... all else
seems fine. (The modem is useless to me, as IrDA or B/T to my mobile is
usually the "modem" connection I'll use if I'm pushed that far !)
