It just works as it is | supposed to. We could fill the available bandwidth with "me too" messages; personally, I have no problems on my 15 month old Inspiron 3500 currently running FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE. Since this matter just arose, with different models and different OS releases, while Inspirons have been around for quite a while, I would hazard the guess from what we learned this far, that the problem only appears on quite recently acquired machines? If so, it seems natural to suspect some firmware change being behind the problems. - Harald To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
