# Configuration details

### SATA Controller

Intel 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) SATA IDE Controller Works with "Intel ESB. ICH, PIIX3, PIIX4 PATA/SATA support" (ata_pIIx module) from kernel. ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support must be set off in the kernel.

### Bluetooth

Bluetooth works if wireless switch is in "on" position.

### Hard Drive

100 GB @ 7200 RPM

### Display

1920x1200 WUXGA

### Network

Ethernet adapter Broadcom BCM5752 works with "Broadcom Tigon3" (module tg3) from kernel.

Wifi adapter Intel 3945ABG works perfectly with iwl3945 module from http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi or with the iwlwifi package from core repository, if you have a distribution kernel. Don't use the ipw driver (http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net)! It's slow and using the binary userspace daemon. However, in the iwl driver (unlike to ipw driver) by that time do not support the led diode, indicating the wireless activity.

### Audio

Intel 82801 (ICH7) High definition family controller works with "Intel HD Audio" (snd-dha-intel module) from kernel. But sometimes, the PCM channel disappear from the mixer. I do not know why, perhaps bug in the driver.?

### VGA

Nvidia Quadro FX 350M works perfectly with the nvidia closed-source driver.

### FireWire

Not tested

### Modem

Not tested

### Fn Keys

Works on Arch using Gnome.

### SmartCard Reader (under baterry cell)

Not tested
