Two question on this laptop: (running FreeBSD 4.3) (1) Does this hardware support APM? There is no clear document for apm. The kernel configuration has "device apm"compiled, but when I run apm, the kernel says: apm: can't open /dev/apm: Device not configured (2) WaveLan does not reliably work on this hardware. Sometime the FreeBSD kernel found wi, but sometimes did not, and sometimes it would be found a while after system is up (login propmt shown), and sometimes syetem spits out following message: wi0: <WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11> at port 0x240-0x27f irq 3 slot 0 on pccard0 wi0: Ethernet address: 00:60:1d:03:68:eb wi0: tx buffer allocation failed wi0: xmit failed wi0: device timeout Is this PCG-Z505SX PCCARD problem or the WaveLan problem? Unplug WaveLan card will definitly hang the system :-( Thanks for any input, -Jin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
