T42 Hardy Wireless, Sound & slow boot patch

[Cliff]

I had an early problem of Hardy Alpha 6 hanging on boot.
The problem still remain in Ubuntu 8.04.1.
I had a problem with Hardy Beta very slow boot and then no wireless or
sound even though it recognized both during install.

Somewhere in the bug reports (can't remember which one) I ran across the
following work-around.

Open the /lib/modules/2.6.24xxx/modules.alias
comment out the first two occurences of AES that link to padlock and
geode hardware.

I did this,saved, exited & rebooted. My wireless and sound were
recognized & worked fine and the boot process was about 70- 85 seconds.

I don't understand why they were linked to padlock. All worked fine under Gutsy 7.10.

Run across the same bug. I applied the work around as written by cliff and it worked.

I can confirm the same problems, the workaround works. I've got the same hardware specification and wireless does not work at all, instead audio works with pulseaudio - without it i can listen to mp3 but no dvd.
