NIC

Works out of the box.


Power Management

Power management does not work out of the box as ACPI is unsupported on this laptop but it does support APM.

pacman -S apmd

Edit the DEAMONS line in /etc/rc.conf accordingly. You may also want to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the following to the kernel line:

acpi=off apm=power_off nolapic noapic
