The base is 2.6.30-rc8, with git6 patch, Acer fan module patch, coretemp patch for the new Intel Atom (of course this new build has full Acer Aspire One support). Also I have re-included the webcam modules, as in the previous release I totally forgot about them.

openSUSE officially sucks!

One of this laptop is an Acer Extensa 5220, which is a quite nice laptop, but it has some issues with the wifi, its an Atheros wifi adapter and in Ubuntu there are issue with it. I added a PCMCIA wifi adapter from Broadcom and with b43-fwcutter it works on Ubuntu. Now the problem was the sound in Skype which seemed impossible to fix so I decided to move from Ubuntu 8.10 to openSUSE 11.1, which at the time seemed a good idea.
