Also, I've not tried to use the built-in modem (I suspect it doesn't work because it's a winmodem, but I don't need it either). The firewire port is detected correctly and I believe it would work, but I don't have any IEEE1394 equipment to test with. Everything else works: USB, PCCARD, 1440x1080 video with 2D and 3D acceleration (DRM/DRI), audio, built-in iwi(4) WLAN, Fast-ethernet (bfe(4)), DVD-/+R/RW drive, PS/2 port for external keyboard and mouse, ACPI with thermal zone management, power saving with cpufreq(4) + powerd(8). I probably forgot a few. :-) Best regards Oliver PS: No need to keep me on the Cc list; I do read the mailing list and don't need duplicate mails. ;-) -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.

"Python tricks" is a tough one, cuz the language is so clean. E.g., C makes an art of confusing pointers with arrays and strings, which leads to lotsa neat pointer tricks; APL mistakes everything for an array, leading to neat one-liners; and Perl confuses everything period, making each line a joyous adventure . -- Tim Peters
