On Lifebook C-6185 you need i2c-support for getting the application-panel
run. So, if your friend really needs that, take kernel 2.4.x.
All this stuff works:
ethercard
winmodem (lucent)
X running with XFree4.0.2
Irda (no FIR)

And everything else.

I haven't installed debian yet on this C-340, but it works fine with
SuSE, The only fly in the ointment is the winmodem, and the soundcard
not wanting to do 16 bit sound. Everything else is fine.
