Hello all,
For want of information about running OpenBSD on the ASUS eee pc 701, I have
had access to a 4GB with camera but no modem model and have some things to
report:
You can Google for those that may or may not have the empty Mini-PCIe slot.
The machine is literally mini ASUS notebook, bios and all with the notable
exception that it uses Hynix NAND flash memory that uses a Silicon Motion SM223
interface to make it appear as an ATA interface (wd0).
The machine is very USB friendly and it appears you can boot to any of its USB
interfaces or the SD slot. (Not SDIO for use with wlan etc.)
On boot, hit Esc for the "BBS POPUP" menu which will allow you to choose what
USB (and probably internal SD flash) device you want to boot to. BIOS is at F2
but the "BBS POPUP" saves many trips to it. Note that your device of choice may
or may not show up by name. My CD drive was sometimes but not always named in
the list. Choosing what sounded like the SD slot would allow booting to the
external CD Drive.
I booted from a USB CD-Rom and installed 4.2 to a Lexar 2MB memory stick that
appeared as sd0, leaving the internal flash drive untouched.
It boots and works, with a few caveats:
- It's still an Intel-based product and a wimpy-sounding fan may come on when
you aren't doing much.
- The "Atheros" 10/100 LAN does not appear to be supported. I resorted to USB
LAN (Linksys url0).
- The Azure AW-GE780 ath0 wlan reports:
ark5k_ar5212_nic_wakeup: failed to resume the AR5212 (again)
ath0: ath_chan_set: unable to reset channel 4 (2427 MHz)
- I had to enable ath0 under the included OS, watch for the light on the case.
- There's only one mouse button.
- "startx" started fine but left some artifacts on-screen. I didn't experiment
further.
- The included glove is a plus.
- The high-resolution video should be good for presentations.
- hw.setperf is supported.
- zzz does not seem to fully suspend it though I am not an apm/acpi/etc wiz.
- The "pearl" color one requires at least one Hello Kitty sticker.
I have included the dmesg below and send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I hope someone finds this useful and I may be able to answer specific questions.
Michael.
