Network: D-Link router access point via Wifi

Display: LCD 1024x768
OS: Fedora Core 6 Linux (Zod)
Kernel: 2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6
KDE version: 3.56-0.3.fc6 Fedora-Core
Suspend on Disk: not working
Suspend on RAM: not working

Comments: It's amazing to me that this older laptop (circa 2000) works at all, let alone with Linux, considering that it's designed specifically for Windows.
The PCTel HSP MicroModem (internal) doesn't work, even with proper drivers, but it's a WinModem, so I didn't expect it to work.
External modems have worked just fine.
I used NDISwrapper, as the Broadcom 43xx drivers didn't work, which was a surprise, as the Linksys card has the Broadcom 43xx chipset. I am now using D-Link WNA-2330, which I highly recommend.
The Trident Cyberblade driver has never worked, making this poor lappy slower than it already is. This was also a disappointment, but the Vesa driver works fine, if slow.
Needless to say that this is not a game machine.

Acer Aspire 3610
All drivers worked on FC6 EXCEPT (In order of priority for me):

Broadcom 4318 wireless...installed the fwcutter method and it works but the stability is still a bit quirky and this is acknowledged by the driver maintainers. Hopefully this changes.

Dual-Head. Even though the gui says is working and configured, a crt monitor never displays anything when plugged in.

Bluetooth...not sure how to test it...the daemons start but I can never get any detection of a device.

It's the one from ENE and I read somewhere that this particular one does not work in linux. Well, I forgot: the hot keys don't work also, but I have never checked why... Oh, and the wifi... I needed to load the firmware to get it work...

EDIT: checked if wifi suspend to disk works

New tool called smolt is available on Extras repository.

yum install smolt

wtogami (Warren Togami) suggested to use it for better report of user hardware specification. I created a new topic to reflect the change.
