I'm running -current on this machine, but didn't actually install it here, I had the system already set up on my old laptop, so I just swapped disks and booted the new machine, which went fine. The actual model is a 2373-19G, which comes with a Pentium M 1.3GHz and all the fine Centrino stuff like the intergrated WLAN - which doesn't work, of course. As I said, the machine boots fine. I had to put hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1" into /boot/device.hints to detect the Cardbus devices correctly. Suprisingly, ACPI also works fine, even S3 suspend does what it should do. (The fan kicks in quite often - more than I'd like it to, and battery life is shorter than in Windows - I get about three hours in BSD, and up to four and more in Windows.) I made some minimal modifications to my DSDT, but I guess they are rather cosmetic. There are some issues with X, though, you need to disable hardware acceleration or you won't survive a resume. Also, USB seems to be broken after a suspend/resume cycle, but apart from that, it's ok. When booting, I get these messages: cbb0: mem 0xb0000000-0xb0000fff irq 11 at device 0.0 on pci2 start (b0000000) < sc->membase (c0200000) start (b0000000) < sc->pmembase (e8000000) cbb1: mem 0xb1000000-0xb1000fff irq 5 at device 0.1 on pci2 start (b1000000) < sc->membase (c0200000) start (b1000000) < sc->pmembase (e8000000) start (88000000) < sc->membase (c0200000) end (ffffffff) > sc->memlimit (cfffffff) start (88000000) < sc->pmembase (e8000000) end (ffffffff) > sc->pmemlimit (cfffffff) start (88000000) < sc->membase (c0200000) end (ffffffff) > sc->memlimit (cfffffff) start (88000000) < sc->pmembase (e8000000) end (ffffffff) > sc->pmemlimit (cfffffff) ath0: mem 0x88000000-0x8800ffff irq 5 at device 0.0 on cardbus1 start (88000000) < sc->membase (c0200000) start (88000000) < sc->pmembase (e8000000) ath0: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 5ghz radio 1.7 2ghz radio 2.3 ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps I'm not sure if these 'start < sc->membase' messages mean anything to worry about - everything seems to work. The Intel WLAN is not supported, and there's probably no driver for the Softmodem, too. All in all, this is a really nice laptop. regards, le -- Lukas Ertl eMail: l.ertl@univie.ac.at UNIX Systemadministrator Tel.: (+43 1) 4277-14073 Vienna University Computer Center Fax.: (+43 1) 4277-9140 University of Vienna http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/
