If we're lucky, the Ethernet driver problem was <http://bugs.debian.org/627704>, which was fixed in version 2.6.32-36 of the kernel package. That fix was included in the Debian 6.0.3 point release. The lack of support for your wifi card is <http://bugs.debian.org/501157>, fixed in 2.6.28 (and hence in Debian 6 which uses a 2.6.32 based kernel, too). There have been some reports of your softmodem (11c11040, agrsm) working under Linux. We unfortunately do not have the complete source code to or non-discriminatory distribution rights for the driver. When you build it, you get: | WARNING: could not find /var/lib/dkms/agrsm-11c11040/20081208/build/.agrmodemlib.o.cmd for /var/lib/dkms/agrsm-11c11040/20081208/build/agrmodemlib.o | FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module agrmodem.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'snd_hda_codec_write' | make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1 Maybe someone at LSI can help clear this up, or maybe there will need to be a reverse-engineering effort. Reassigning to kernel to track this.

If you get a chance to try Debian 6, I'd be happy to look into the GPU and touchpad problems.
