Configuration details

SATA Controller

Intel 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) SATA IDE Controller Works with "Intel ESB. ICH, PIIX3, PIIX4 PATA/SATA support" (ata_pIIx module) from kernel. ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support must be set off in the kernel.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth works hci_usb kernel driver and if wireless switch is in "on" position. I installed bluez-libs and bluez-utils packages from extra repositorty. If I run

$ sudo sh /etc/rc.d/bluetooth start 

then

$hcitool dev

Network

Ethernet adapter Broadcom BCM5752 works with "Broadcom Tigon3" (module tg3) from kernel.

Wifi adapter Intel 3945ABG works perfectly with iwl3945 module from http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi or with the iwlwifi package from core repository, if you have a distribution kernel. Don't use the ipw driver (http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net)! It's slow and using the binary userspace daemon. However, in the iwl driver (unlike to ipw driver) by that time don't support the led diode, indicating the wireless activity.

Audio

Intel 82801 (ICH7) High definition family controller works with "Intel HD Audio" (snd-dha-intel module) from kernel. But sometimes, the PCM channel disappear from the mixer. I don't know why, perhaps bug in the driver.?

VGA

Nvidia Quadro FX 350M works perfectly with the nvidia closed-source driver.

Works in Kubuntu 7.xx live, however I don't tried to setup this feature in Arch
