Got and Acer Travelmate 8005Lmi here, works pretty well, and sufficiently fast (make buildworld in ~35mins). Everything except suspend/resume works on releng_5/current as is, you need ndis for the builtin Intel wireless though. Havn't played with the bluetooth stuff yet, so no idea there. Note that ACPI suspend/resume has been broken on several laptops since early august, it worked just fine before that, so its a matter of our ACPI support getting its thing together again... -- -SørenReceived on Mon Sep 27 2004 - 11:10:59 UTC
