Sounds similar to my Compaq 2100's issues. I was able to setup/load a custom DSDT, which solved the ACPI and related problems. (Although prism54 still doesn't work as I hit the usual, mfg changed internals but kept the same product number. Ndiswrapper works for me, from sourceforge.)
Some help on setting up a DSDT: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/HardwareHowTo#ACPI_Cust om_DSDT HTH, -- Stew Benedict Mandrakesoft Tried ndiswrapper had some problems. Am working on using the on board acx100_pci. If it doesn't work I will try it again. thanks for the acpi tip I will make that my next project. Currently I am trying the linuxant package and at least it fires up the card and lets me confgure it Once I get it running I will try an open source solution Thanks, Pat
