Dear all,
I visited a Compaq exhibition the other day and with me I brought my Knoppix 
3.2 live CD. I managed to persuade the sales person to let me try booting the 
notebook with the CD. 

The notebook was Compaq NX7000:
- - Intel centrino (Pent. Mobile 1,4Ghz, chipset Intel 855PM, Intel Pro wireless
2100).
- - WinXP pro
- - 256 DDR SDRAM
- - 40GB HDD
- - 15.4 WXGA display
- - Builtin FDD
- - DVD/DVD-CDRW combo
- - 802.11b wireless LAN
- - 64MB VRAM DDR
- - Integrated modem and LAN
- - Bag

The booting process seemed smooth. It loaded the xwindows successfully, 
however, I had a few questions:
1. The vga was detected as vesa. Whereas the actual chip was ATI Savage Mobile 
9000.
2. How do I check that the wireless LAN is detected? Is it as eth0, eth1? I 
didn't have enought opportunities to playing around with it, because suddenly 
all electricity went down on their stand and they didn't the equip the 
notebook with battery. 
3. Is info in /proc reliable enough to see hardware/chipset specs?
Thanks.
