-Video: autodetected

-lan ok, autodetected

-Sound: use i810xx (or something..) controller that comes with distro installation. it installs intel...something by default, change it

-Modem. it works great too. what i did was basically:



download driver: http://www.netodragon.com/slmodem-2.9.10_netodragon.tar.gz

-install kernel sources (for mandrake in the rpm manager)

-unpack the downloaded file

-in the directory where you unpacked run (from console)

$ make

-as 'root' user run:

# make install

(the following needs to be run once before start dialing as 'root' user to)

# modprobe slamr

# /usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=USA /dev/slamr0



the last command will give you the modem port ( /dev/... ). You must use this to configure your ppp dialup program (kppp for example). you can run the ppp dialup program as a normal user.



just dial and your're done

if you have problems starting to install Mandrake 10.0 (i've read of other distros with the same problem), just update to the latest BIOS. then it will install with no problems

The APIC feature doesn't work so "noapic" should be added to your kernel commandline.


I also had to specify my drive LBA geometry on the kernel commandline as BIOS and Linux didn't agree.
