Wireless

This laptop uses a Broadcom BCM4113 chipset for wireless networking. Some revisions have an Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g chipset.

Free kernel driver for the Broadcom BCM4113 chipset

As of kernel version 2.6.37, there is now a Free driver in the kernel: brcmsmac. This driver should be loaded out of the box.

Non-free alternative driver for the Broadcom BCM4113 chipset

An alternative may be the 802.11 Linux STA driver, which can be installed with broadcom-wl

Free kernel driver for the Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g chipset

The ath9k module is detected by udev and loaded out of the box.

Some users report issues with the ath9k driver and this particular chipset. In this case, use the ndiswrapper method. Also, add !ath9k and ndiswrapper to the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf.

Graphics

The Intel GMA 3150 requires the xf86-video-intel module. No file is required.

gollark: If someone found tomorrow that you could create energy from nothing, and it can't be proved that that *can't* happen unless you already start from a model, the models would have to be updated.
gollark: The models in physics are created from reality, not the other way round.
gollark: In maths you can go "if we know X axioms, we can definitely say that Y"; in science you can at most say something like "we found that things in situations X, Y, Z obey A and it's very unlikely that this result was obtained by random chance".
gollark: How? The incompleteness thing?
gollark: You can't really "prove" things about reality like you can do for maths.
