It's an acer 1644WLMi. It's supported completely by freebsd. I bought it 1yr ago, now it should be very cheap. It has a 2.0ghz Centrino (Pentium M), 1GB RAM DDR, a 120GB 5200rpm disk, WiFi, USBx4, Intel High definition audio, Intel GMA 945 128MB, battery used to hold for more than 2hr in working mode. There's only a couple of things that you'll need to tweak: 1) snd_hda doesn't come in 6_RELENG.Check the multimedia mailing list to learn how to get it working (everything works great, speaker, line, mic, etc..) 2) The ACPI implementation has a couple of bytecodes fsckd up. You need to fix it and load the modified AML. Check the acpi mailing list to get some help on correcting this minor issue.

Especially WiFi is unneeded, LAN will be OK but it's not a problem to attach one. I'm running CURRENT on a Toshiba Satellite U200. There's a minor catch-22 with these laptops, because their internal fxp0 NIC is not yet supported by RELENG_6, but it works fine on CVS HEAD. So, to install CURRENT on it, I had to bootstrap from a snapshot from ftp.freebsd.org. Another minor nit is that I haven't really tried a lot to get the internal Intel-based WiFi adapter to work. I have a D-Link DWL-AG650 (H/W Ver: B2) PC-Card, which is Atheros-based and works like a charm. The snd_hda driver supports the audio chipset of this laptop quite nicely, and Ariff has committed to CURRENT a patch which fixes a minor glitch (plugging in head-phones wouldn't turn the speakers off). All in all, this has been an excellent buy for me, and I'm planning to bump the physical memory to 1GB or more real soon now :) Battery-life is almost 3 hours, which is probably short for some of the more modern laptops. I haven't tested using the same laptop with one of the special Toshiba batteries, though. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
