Issues:
1. Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
- Does not work out of the box; requires firmware installation. Installation requires firmware file on hand or a wired network connection.

2. Microdia OrbiCam (USB device 0c45:6260)
- No known driver support

3. Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)
- Laptop speakers are mapped to the "Surround" channel.
- Microphone does not work.
- Laptop speakers do not mute when headphones are plugged in.

4. VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP]
- Ubuntu 7.10 restricted drivers require the additional installation of the package xserver-xgl if you want to enable desktop effects.

General
- The custom Euro and Dollar keys above the directional keys do not function.
- Suspend and Hibernate both fail. I do not know what hardware to attribute this to.
