Is it detected by the dc driver? Does it | give | a reasonable MAC address? Scott, It is detected but no MAC. I think that there is an issue with interrupts. It seems to want to assign everything to irq 11 :-( I've got some sorting out to do with that and the two keyboards but it shouldn't be too difficult. I hope:-) Thanks to you, I now know that the accton 2242 works. ed | The only problem that I've had with it is that | it | won't autodetect 10baseT/UTP full-duplex, but other that that it works | great. The sound is most likely an ESS Allegro-1, so load the snd_maestro3 | driver module (it can't be compiled in right now and is not part of | snd_driver.ko). The 'Polk Audio System' most likely refers to the | speakers, | just like on most of the other HP laptops. Don't know about the touch pad, | mine works fine with moused. | | Scott | | > -----Original Message----- | > From: Edwin Culp [mailto:eculp@encontacto.net] | > Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2001 10:55 AM | > To: mobile@freebsd.org | > Subject: I bought an HP N5470. | > | > | > The HP N5470 Laptop seems to have most everything at a fairly | > reasonable price. | > Athlon 4 1GHz, 256MB, 20GB, DVD-CDRW, 3Com mini-PCI | > NIC/Modem, 15" XGA TFT, | > Polk Audio Snd. for 2,099. | > | > The good news: | > I have installed current and have already burned a current | > release with the | > DVD-CDRW with mkisofs and burncd.
