• 2. Information on CPU Frequency Scaling:
  • After installing the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor applet, the processor never changed from 800 MHz, even on AC. This web site told how to change the processor speed:

• 3. Sound:
  • Sometimes I lose sound. It seems to happen when restarting the machine. The only way to get it back is to turn the machine off completely. It may also happen after booting into Ubuntu after running Windows XP. I have not spent much time looking into solutions. This sounds like the same problem that I am having:

• 4. Wireless networking:
  • This laptop has one of the Broadcom 4318 wireless network cards. See the output of lspci below for more details on the card. I have used both the bcm43xx and ndiswrapper modules. I think my main issues have been with the supporting software and not the modules themselves. At first, I was using the System/Administration/Networking to control my networking. Just connecting to my router without encryption was fine with this software.

    I then found out about NetworkManager. The only way to get this software to work was to disable the networking devices in System/Administration/Networking. Using this software, I was able to connect wirelessly with WEP only. Trying to use WPA would not work with NetworkManager, there seems to some issue between it and wpa_supplicant. Starting wpa_supplicant manually and then issuing a dhclient command works. not work

• 6. Card Readers:
  • The Gateway 7510GX has several card readers built-in. The one for the compact flash (2MB) and the secure digital (512MB) both work. I have not tried other cards.
