****   Installing Linux on the Toshiba A110-178   ****

1) Network doesn't work : only installing a separate "r1000" driver from the
   internet fixes this. (search for r1000_v1.04.tgz)

   Worse, the r1000 driver doesn't compile out of the box : I had to change
   MODULE_PARM(...) into MODULE_PARM_DESC(...) before it would compile :-(

2) Video i810 driver didn't work, only vesa does something useful. Only
   after updating to X11 6.9.0 for Slackware it seems to work now.
   Resolution should be set to 1280x800 to get the native resolution.

3) Sound works with the Alsa Intel HDA driver, but the possibilities are
   rather limited : very few controls and no multiplexing in the driver.
  
4) Wireless : only the cumbersome ipw3945 driver seems to work. For that I
   had to install 4 packages :
  
  ieee80211-1.1.14.tgz   : new ieee stack for the kernel
  ipw3945-1.0.12.tgz     : the driver itself
  ipw3945-ucode-1.13.tgz : the firmware (needs rc.hotplug running)
  ipw3945d-1.7.22.tgz    : daemon that needs to run in userspace
  
   Also notice that the radio must be on for the driver to work. If you get :
  
    ipw3945: Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On:
    Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work.
  
  You need to set the radio switch on the front to "on". If the orange led is
  on it should work fine.
