Hello,

As described in an e-mail I sent a few days ago

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=254419+0+current/freebsd-mobile

I'm having problems with my Dell Inspiron 4100 with a Dell TrueMobile (in
fact an Orinoco Gold)  Mini-PCI card. I am wondering whether or not it
will help to use 5.0-CURRENT instead of 4.5-STABLE as I am now - is there
any new features in 5.0 which could make life with a laptop better or
easier?

In particular I am thinking of features like:

- being able to fetch the battery status
- after being in standby mode, sound will still work
- a remote possibility for my wireless NIC to work again

Thanks!


Sincerely,
Rasmus Skaarup
