[Sussex] vaio linux support

[David Moss]

Well,

The only thing I'm having problems with is the WLAN 802.11/b/g adapter. In Windrool$ it says its a 'LAN-Express AS IEEE 802.11gPCI-E-adapter'. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dave.

I have one of the small Vaio Laptop and, it all works on my Mandriva 2007,
including:-
Modem, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi. and the 1280 x 800 display.
As the modem is always the biggest challenge I was surprised.
Now what support are you requiring as there is nothing made by Sony (other
than the badge) in the equation.
Display and Wi-Fi (ipw2200) - Intel
Analyse the individual components and look to the the hardware
manufacturers.
Good Luck and Go for It!

And NO, putting proper operating system on in no way affects the warrantee.
