I haven't played around with standby, but after a standard install, I upgraded my kernel to 2.4.22-gentoo-r4, recompiling with the following (below). This got the gnome battery applet working as well as getting the system to poweroff on shutdown. Of course, after compiling the kernel, I had to remerge pcmcia-cs.
My 54g card (Broadcom chip) doesn't appear to have any GPL or GPL-like source available for it (despite Broadcom's claim to support the Linux community), so I used "driverloader" from linuxant.com. It's commercial, but I decided to give it the 30-day trial they offer. I haven't had the opportunity to use it with anything but 802.11b APs, so I don't know if it works at 54 Mbits. But at 11, it works great. Hope it helps, Roy # # ACPI Support # CONFIG_ACPI=y CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y CONFIG_ACPI_BUS=y CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER=y CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y CONFIG_ACPI_PCI=y CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP=y CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y CONFIG_ACPI_AC=y CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=y CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y # CONFIG_ACPI_ASUS is not set CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA=m # CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is not set # CONFIG_ACPI_RELAXED_AML is not set Aaron Walker said: > Øystein Olsen wrote: > >> >> See if you can boot with: acpi=off >> > > Well...
