Hi, everyone,
I'm the proud new owner of a Dell Latitude D810 laptop. I was wondering
if anyone here had had any experience running linux on one of these
beasts, or a laptop featuring similar hardware. The main sources of
frustration for me so far have been the ipw2200 wireless card, ICH6 SA
f these have well supported open source firmware options. Oh, and
they both have wireless.

ng interrupts. Is this a bad thing?
Well, it's not ideal. If your system's APIC hardware was supported and
did allow the processors to share interrupt service duties under linux
2.4, then you have found a kernel bug (worse, a regression) and you
should report it as such to the kernel d
linux noacip nolacip
I'm intrigued: does interrupt balancing still work under this
configuration? Can you look in /proc/interrupts and see whether both
cpus are serving interrupts?
