I will have a go as Salix (which is on there now isn't cutting it and spent all night trying to get things in order but didn't :( Tested the live FBSD9 disk in the meantime and the wireless gets detected out of the box. As long as I get wifi and HD video and sound coming out of the headphone socket I will be fine.... I'm running 8.2 on an X200. For the most part everything works. My main complaint is that the sound is very quiet, and I haven't found the setting to fix that. Video and wifi work fine. The kernel sees the camera and the thumb reader but I haven't looked for applications that use them. Ok this sounds promising - for wifi see above! App for camera is Googletalk if supported on Firefox 9, and PAM for the figureprint reader. Just thinkin about WWAN now but there was a post floating around about 3G modems so I might just be in luck.... not that I've ever used WiMax before. Thanks for the replies guys :-) Regards, Kaya
