Note that laptop has a non Toshiba BIOS (Phonenix) so toshiba_acpi will not work.

Issues on Dapper

  • No more firewire-related modules problem Smile :) No need to blacklist drivers, wired and unwired network cards work out of the box

  • No more ipv6 issue

  • Fn keys don't work so you won't be able to change brigthness, but s1bl (http://tz.exit0.net/tecras1.html) doesn't work anymore.. it's a kernel 2.6.15 issue, compile 2.6.16 from kernel.org and it will work again

Issues on Breezy

  • loading firewire-related modules (ieee1394, ohci1394, eth1394, sbp2 - I believe that's all, though there could be more) will cause the kernel to disable IRQ #11. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/ToshibaSatelliteM40-JM8. Prevent them from loading with

    • nano /etc/hotplug/blacklist and add these drivers: ieee1394 ohci1394 eth1394 sbp2
    • nano /etc/modules and remove sbp2
  • ipv6 caused me DNS not working
    • sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/aliases - comment alias net-pf-10 ipv6

    • in firefox, type 'about:config' and put 'true' on network.dns.disableIPv6

  • Fn keys don't work so you won't be able to change brigthness, see http://tz.exit0.net/tecras1.html
