Hello,
I've recently installed a downloaded version of
Suse10.2 on a laptop Acer serie "Ferrari 4000"
(4005WLMi); hardware configuration and results are as
follows:
- The hardware is provided with an AMD Thurion 64
mobile tech on an 86x64 architecture
- there is 2Go RAM
- graphical card is an ATI mobility radeon x700: it is
correctly detected and configurated and works
perfectly except that I haven't yet tested 3D
acceleration
- IEEE1394 card is correctly configurated but not yet
tested
- USB controller is correctly detected and works very
well
- PCMCIA and modem are correctly detected but not yet
tested
- sound card is correctly detected and works nicely
Problems concerns essentially wireless network and
especially Bluetooth; once all packages have ben
installed, I found no mean to create a connection with
my wirelessmouse neither with an other device such a
smartphone; nevertheless, there is no particular error
in the syslog: /var/log/messages and the bluetooth
adaptator is correcly detected; when I'm doing service
bluetooth restart, I have no error printed on the
screen.
It appears that the hardware for this functionnality
comes from Broadcam (it is a BCM2035 controller) but
curiously it doesn't present on the product list of
this provider (there is BCM2037 but no BCM2035)
Second question concerns how to establish a wireless
connection with a router: here again, hardware comes
from Broadcom (BCM4318 AirForceOne) and this
manufacturer provides no driver for other OS than
Windows, so m'I obliged to proceed through ndiswrapper
or is there any specific 'Braodcom' solution??
Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance
Best regards
Michel
