I downloaded and installed the latest "Breezy" public snapshot. Almost all
hardware works great on my Fujitsu FMV-BIBLO LOOX T5/53W (even the 1280x600
screen is automatically detected). The only problem I'm having is with a
Prism 2.5 wavelan (Intersil) wireless minipci card that I've installed. The
card shows up under hardware, but does not show up under Network settings for
me to configure. I'm a relative newbie to the command line, so I haven't
done much from there. (I tried a newer prism GT card in the minipci slot,
and it worked fine with the kernel driver.) After reading about the prism
2.5 wavelan, I believe that the hostap driver is required for this card to
function. Concur with the bug originator that the hostap driver may solve my
(our) problems with this older card.
