This laptop is operating under a Kernel version 2.6.25-ARCH.
bash-3.2# uname -a
Linux Lite-Linux 2.6.25-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jun 14 18:07:19 CEST 2008 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2390 @ 1.86GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
I choose ArchLinux, because I used slackware and gentoo in my Desktop machine, and I think gentoo need too much time to complie and slackware is hard to upgrade system. So this time I use ArchLinux in my laptop.
All the thing goes well, except the wifi need some work.
Get the BCM4312 offical driver and install it.(What a pity:it's no a opensource driver completely:-() But it just work, and I had try ndiswapper, it doesn't do that.
Let's enjoy Linux!
I improved inteltool to support GM965 temperature detect. Hope you like it!http://blog.chinaunix.net/u/6547/showart.php?id=1335333In 2.6.28, the BCM4312 offical driver can't be compiled. So it need to modify the source code to compile it in 2.6.28. I had done it, as it isn't
an opensource driver, I don't known where to commit the patch, so if anyone
need it, please contact me.
I can be reached at tombowfly< at >gmail.com
