Speedstep and 'apmd -C' are ok. Even with 2GB memory, mfs is limited to a bit under 1GB, and process data size is limited to 1GB, but these are generic OpenBSD i386 limits, not specific to this hardware. The builtin bge0 (10/100Mbit ethernet) is 'interesting': * it works fine when connected to an ethernet *switch* (eg Netgear DS105) * it works fine when connected to some ethernet *hubs* (eg Netgear DS104) * it doesn't work at all ("no carrier") when connected to some other ethernet *hubs*, even ones of the same model (Netgear DS104) which work fine with other people's Thinkpads. In the (normal) case when it works fine, I typically get around 8 MB/second at 60-80% CPU usage for scp of large files to/from nearby fast machines over a 100Mbit switched network. The builtin ath0 (wavelan) works fine. USB flash disks work fine with either 'mount -t msdos' or mtools. I haven't tried any pcmcia cards. I haven't tried audio. X.org is beautiful at 1600x1200 pixels, but it doesn't recognize the middle mouse button. :(
If you turn off the touch pad in the BIOS and use only the trackpoint then the middle mouse button works. I never use the touch pad so this works fine for me. Greg
