The alc ethernet is not supported in 7.2 (the ath0 wireless is), and I don't care about the video camera. The '5-in-1' media reader is, unfortunately for me, a USB device. (After some detective work, I determined that it uses a Reaktek RTS5101 or RTS5111). For my purposes (low level SDHC card access), I prefer hardware that is supported by the sdhci/mmc subsystem. So my question is: does anybody know _for sure_ of a hard-disk netbook with a media reader that uses the sdhci interface and is supported by FBSD 7.2 (supported = wireless,X,USB). $USD300 (like the AA1-D250) is the desired price point, but up to about $USD400 is OK (as is FBSD 8.0, if the hardware is right). If you have any pointers, please include the sub-model information, because if it's anything like the Asus, the hardware varies all over the place, and 'Aspire One' means less than 'D250' or 'AO150'.

This is a hard-disk netbook. Here are the complete hardware and installation details http://www.twincling.org/node/451 The website http://www.acer.com/aspireone/about.html In India it costed me about INR 21,500 (or $430) in March 2009.
