ACPI and Power Saving
Power saving works well. Screen dimming works, CPU frequency can be controlled with cpufreq. Sleep and resume, reboot, and other options will work out of the box with XFCE, untested otherwise.

Wireless
Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter. Works fine with ath9k (included in kernel since 2.6.27), tested with wicd and netcfg.
Audio
All audio works fine. Hardware volume control works with hotkeys in XFCE and in Openbox by adding the following to the keyboard section of ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml
:
<!-- keybindings for media keys --> <keybind key="XF86AudioLowerVolume"> <action name="Execute"> <execute>amixer set Master 5- unmute</execute> </action> </keybind> <keybind key="XF86AudioRaiseVolume"> <action name="Execute"> <execute>amixer set Master 5+ unmute</execute> </action> </keybind>
