Everything worked, except 'suspend', for which I had to compile a newer kernel with ACPI patch, after that, suspend to disk *and* suspend to memory both work; especially suspend to memory is nice, since the laptop is operational in 2 seconds. For WiFi, look around for cards that are working under Linux; do not buy Linksys because they change chipssets in the same product line, and that gave me some trouble a couple of years ago.
