7.04 Feisty
- Installation: additional boot option 'noapic' (+ corresponding change in /boot/grub/menu.lst)
- Hibernate: works if adding boot option 'nosmp', otherwise the kernel panics when trying to hibernate
- Sleep: with the additonal 'nosmp' boot option, the machine goes to sleep, the sleep light comes on, it wakes up on a key press, but the screen is just blank and the keyboard is not working (for example caps lock and num lock)
Wireless NIC: the Broadcom 4312 card is partly working with the linux driver after extracting the firmware with bcm43xx-fwcutter (WEP working, but it's slow, WPA not working), see also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
- Infrared: only working with the laptop's remote control (same as in MS Windows)
- 3D acceleration: only with the restricted nvidia driver
