Re: Dell Latitude D600 laptop

[Alain RICHARD <alain.richard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I own one of theses (from EU), and I have installed RH9 on it. Almost all of the devices are working out of the box (ATI video, DVD/RW, PCMCIA, sound, bluetooth). What is not working is the modem (a well known soft modem), but is working if you recompile the driver found on http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/ (this is a HSF modem). The Wifi card (either from broadcom or intel), is not working (there is currently no driver because the specs are not public). The smart card reader is not working (a broadcom pcmcia card reader). It seams broadcom is working on the support of both the card reader and the Wifi card, but no date is announced.
