This laptop was used for some of the early debugging of the driver, so I can guarantee you that it will work (thanks to ariff@!). :-) - The wireless Intel 3945ABG does not work, but I guess wpi(4) will be ported from OpenBSD at some point (haven't tried the patches floating around on the lists yet). - ACPI seems to work ok and I get almost 3 hours of life in battery mode. I see "acpi_tz0: _CRT value is absurd, ignored (256.0C)" on the console sometimes however (more detailed report can be found on the freebsd-acpi@ list). -- Joel
