Samsung ML1640
I cannot seem to get my Samsung ML1640 to work with Fedora. Works plug and play with Ubuntu with no issues at all. Ideas?

It works fine on another laptop we have and it also used to work on this laptop running Ubuntu. I really believe that this is an open firmware issue.

Yes, I've tried wired and I get the correct speeds as they should be. 2 Mbps download and 0.5 Mbps upload.

Slow wireless
I'm running Fedora 15 on a laptop with a Broadcom 4318 wireless card. The Network Settings shows I'm connected at 54 Mbps, but my actual download speeds tested with speedtest.net show only about 0.15 Mbps download and 0.24 Mbps upload. My service is 2 Mbps download and 0.5 Mbps upload. I'm using the B43 driver. Any ideas on how to correct this?

My machine is a Compaq R4000 which has an AMD 64 Athlon processor, 1 GB RAM, Broadcom 4318 wireless and an ATI Xpress200M video card.

Battery Status Errors
Hi everyone. I'm new to Fedora and seem to be having an issue with my battery status on my laptop. My laptop battery is still in fair shape and lasts about an hour and a half on other operating systems. I see by the battery icon when I'm plugged in that I'm 100% charged. When I unplug, my laptop immediately shows that I'm at a critical battery state and goes into hibernation. I'm not sure why. Any ideas?
