[tlinux-users:07480] Re: Satellite M55-S329

Hi Amit,

I have M55-S325 laptop and it also has Marvell ethernet chipset. In Linux or
FreeBSD Marvell ethernet did not work on my laptop.
Try going to Marvell site you will get some linux drivers but it did not
help me in getting ethernet driver work.

But the wireless lan driver worked without any problems. The laptop has
Intel pro 2200BG wirless chipset and it worked in MEMPIS, KNOPPIX and
FreeBSD6.0 with out any problems and this is the only connectivity i have
now and its pretty stable.

With regards

Sunil
