Notes
Wifi : bcm43xx work bad (need to downgrade mem=1024M at boot). I use ndiswrapper instead
way to make it working (at this time) : prepare ndiswrapper, modprobe bcm43xx, modprobe ndiswrapper, rmmod bcm43xx, rmmod ndiswrapper THEN modprobe ndiswrapper.
If bcm43xx not loaded first, then ndiswrapper make event/0 taking all processor.
If bcm43xx not unloaded, going to freeze in minutes
Ndiswrapper won't work until rmmod/modprobe
With Ubuntu Edgy Eft and bcm43xx-fwcutter package, the default bcm43xx kernel module works well. It however sometimes does kernel panics. Ndiswrapper is no longer useful.
Mouse: some times need to HALT then restart computer (mouse plugin), else no usb mouse detection (use noapic nolapic parameters to kernel to avoid this)
NVidia driver currently bugs. You need to use the beta driver of Nvidia to use 3D applications.

The touchpad works well, but need to be configured using synaptics.
