[indiana-discuss] Intel Atom-Based (EeePC-Like) Mini Notebooks

[James Cornell]

I personally have Novatel 3G ExpressCard (EX720) but my laptop doesn't  
work with OpenSolaris in the way it should (Specifically the long- 
lasting fdisk EFI bug, and keyboard mapping problems).  (MacBook Pro,  
Intel Core 2 T7700, NVIDIA Geforce 8600 GT GFX)

But I don't mind that it doesn't work, I use OpenSolaris on my Ultra  
20 M2.  (Opteron 1218, NVIDIA Quadro FX1500)
