Current Issues

-The therm_adt746x is not loaded by default, neither in the installer nor in the installed system. That makes the fan to stay ALWAYS off. Careful! modprobing therm_adt746x solves the problem.

-Some problems handing the wireless card.

-Some problem with sleep.

Notes

* Some Problems with the Wireless Card: sometime you need to restart to get it working again. ** Firmware must be installed separately. Relatively slow and buggy. The GUI tools rarely works.
