Current Issues

- Display brightness can't be changed with fn-key, only with "echo 62 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness"

- 3d acceleration doesn't work as the proprietary driver often crashes

- bcm43xx only works with newest driver from ftp://lwfinger.dynalias.org/patches/bcm43xx-softmac-sa.tar.bz2
