Notes

  1. Breezy: Used ndiswrapper to activate wireless in Breezy for testing purposes.
  2. Dapper: Broadcom card needs further action by user to use for any encrypted protocol.
  3. Feisty: Broadcom card needs further action - UbuntuforumsHOWTO works on this computer

  4. Feisty: DesktopCD will not run on this computer. Startup progresses to the usplash screen, then screen blanks & dies. No VT available for command line access. No Xwindowing enabled. Same results in safe graphics mode.

  5. After Hibernation, all power management functions have ceased.
