This seems to be a working combination: ati-drivers-3.14.1 xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2 ipw2200-0.12 gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r10 (kernel 2.6.8.1 with patches) vesafb-tng 1400×1050@60

Haven’t done anything on this page for a while now. BIOS is now version 0211A. I have swapped my Intel Pro/Wireless 2100b for a Intel Pro/Wireless 2200bg which is running with the Linux drivers from ipw2200.sf.net (or via emerge ipw2200).

New BIOS 0206A again

Intel released the driver for the Centrino “Intel Pro/Wireless LAN 2100” chipset under an open-source license at sourceforge.net.

Ycarus (Yannick Chabanois) was so nice to send me a (partly) fixed version of the DSDT (BIOS Version 0205A) with which the battery status can be queried. You can find the compiled version here and the source code here. Remember that some things still might _not_ work. To use the DSDT you have to patch…

New BIOS, version 0205A. Will try it tomorrow.

I have uploaded the specification of the CD-ROM Combo drive SD-R2512 here. Thanks to Ricardo Cordeiro who provided me with the pdf file. You seem to need (at least) Acrobat Reader 6 (Windows) with Japanese Fonts (will download automatically) to view it.

The BIOS Update to version 0204A (original is 0203A) is available on the Asus Downloads page.

There is a BIOS Update for the M6800N that has a different DSDT. I have not tried it since I do not have Windows on my laptop to update the BIOS.

The CVS version of acpi4asus now supports the M6800N
