Two question on this laptop: (running FreeBSD 4.3)

(1) Does this hardware support APM? There is no clear document for apm.
The kernel configuration has "device apm"compiled, but when I run apm,
the kernel says:

apm: can't open /dev/apm: Device not configured


(2) WaveLan does not reliably work on this hardware. Sometime the
FreeBSD kernel found wi, but sometimes did not, and sometimes it
would be found a while after system is up (login propmt shown),
and sometimes syetem spits out following message:

wi0: <WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11> at port 0x240-0x27f irq 3 slot 0 on pccard0
wi0: Ethernet address: 00:60:1d:03:68:eb
wi0: tx buffer allocation failed
wi0: xmit failed
wi0: device timeout

Is this PCG-Z505SX PCCARD problem or the WaveLan problem?

Unplug WaveLan card will definitly hang the system :-(

Thanks for any input,

	-Jin
