Dames om het netwerk aan de gang te krijgen moet je bij zowel suse als ubuntu acpi=off opnemen bij grub.
alles werkt dan goed alleen acpi gerelateerde onderdelen werken niet.
Sorry, didn't realize that English is the comon language on this forum. With ubuntu jaunty all works perfect out of the box, with Ubuntu Karmic it's a disaster. No networking possible , a lot of people have also no conection at all (wired or wireless). Eventually managed to get the wireless working with an old usb wireless lan stick.
All works on OpenSuse 11.1.
There were some troubles with internal subwoofer (it doesnt work), but in newest version of alsa it's works perfect. Bluetooth starts working after installation. I don't test only card reader and modem, all other devices works fine.
Met ubuntu jaunty werkt alles perfect out of the box. Met karmic krijg ik met geen mogelijkheid het netwerk (draadloos en bedraad) aan de gang, met mij velen. Met een oude usb wireless lan stick uiteindelijk wel gelukt maar heb een trage verbinding.
