No, doesn't work.
Other than a 64 bit ndiswrapper you would also need a 64 bit Windows driver, which (AFAIK) is not available yet. Most likely Broadcom will release one when 64 bit Windows becomes more common, but I guess you do not want to wait until that unforeseeable point in future.
If you want WLAN in 64bit now, the best way to go is with a Cardbus interface, like the SMC2835W. Works like a charm and directly supported by the kernel.
Other Prism54 based cards should work equally well. |

No one mentioned the "Warning losing many ticks" problem that seems to occur on every 1501ML in 64bit. AFAIK this has not yet been resolved or did I miss something!?

| Ok, i will use an 32bit kernel as long the wlan isn't supported. (Somewhere in the near future, I hope) |

there is a working patch to get the builtin winbond cardreader of the 1500 series work. Till now it just works for mmc (at least i think so, i have to get an mmc card but the output on loading the module looks good) version 0.5 works, 0.4 hardlocks the system so don't try it.
If there are other laptops which' cardreaders work with this patch tell the mailinglist on the projectpage.

Hey, did any of you try suspend to disk on a 1501? It works (even with the radeon xorg and fb drivers), but resume is really slow. It seems to hang for a while before it reads the swap to memory (60 sec or so). The system doesn't eem to do anyting). After that, ram get's filled again, and it works great!
Should it be so slow, or are ther just some issues? I'm using gentoo kernel 2.6.8-r1. |

on 32 or 64 bit kernel? i wouldn't be surprised if the pcmcia core would fail on 64-bit kernels... |

set CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR to "y" in your kernel config, recompile, install, and post | Code: | | dmesg | grep -4 powernow-k8 |

thx for the reply brodo, but my kernel is configured with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR and all other stuff
Here is my config file
| Code: |
/usr/src//linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r14/.config
.....
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y
.....
#
# CPU Frequency scaling
#
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_PROC_INTF is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_24_API is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y
#
# CPUFreq processor drivers
#
CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8=y
.....
|
And the output in the previous messages was from dmesg
One question has the dsdt table somthing to do with psb table

| Quote: | Jun 7 20:59:10 baerbel atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xe0 on isa0060/serio0).
Jun 7 20:59:10 baerbel atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e060 <keycode>' to make it known. |
No sign of these messages, but my keyboard behaves strangely sometimes: the key is repeated after i release the button etc. |
My browser, email, p1, p2, VolumeUp, VolumeDown, VolumeMute and some more buttons work doing a dirty trick but it works:
I add some code on some of my files:
| Code: |
- In /etc/init.d/local
# Load keys
setkeycodes e073 120
setkeycodes e074 121
setkeycodes e025 125
setkeycodes e026 126
setkeycodes e027 127
|
| Code: |
- In a valid modmap file such as ~/.xmodmaprc. I don't add the full code only the new code:
keycode 115 = XF86Launch2
keycode 116 = XF86Launch3
keycode 117 = XF86Launch4
keycode 134 = XF86Launch1
keycode 139 = XF86Launch0
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 178 = XF86WWW
keycode 236 = XF86Mail
|
| Code: |
- I created the file ~/.kde/Autostart/xmodmap.sh which loaded a valid map file modified with the above new keys
#!/bin/bash
#
/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
|
And then i linked some of those X events to actions using Khotkeys in kde. Volume keys was not needed to be linked because it worked without it. X*Volume* events triggered the actions.
If you want to get more information i suggest you getting information about:
| Code: |
setkeycodes
xmodmap
|
I hope it helped you.

cpufreqd works for me in an Acer Aspire 1513Lmi.
Try mi dsdt file if you want but dsdt only affected battery status or not in my case:

Is there someone who had some problems mit the harddisk?
I can´t install Gentoo booting from the 2004.2 Live CD because fdisk don´t want to use hda. While booting i see how my harddisk gets the devicename hda, no errors.
#fdisk /dev/hda
unable to open /dev/hda
Best regards,
Lukas |

The volume buttons I got working, but how do you get the others ones working? On my 1501 Lmi they do not even produce a scan code.
Am I missing something? |
