[tlinux-users:07610] Re: Hi all!

I have a Toshiba Satellite P20 and lshw says the same thing about the
BIOS, but I built and can load the omnibook module (can't load any of
the toshiba modules). I'm also running Ubuntu Breezy.

BTW, I read somewhere that the SD card reader uses a Winbond chip...wbsd
module; I loaded it but it didn't seem to help with recognising a small
SD card that came with my digital camera.

Cheers
Paul.
