Well I'm looking for two specific things:

- can I use wifi with a 2.6.23 or 2.6.24 kernel?  The proprietary module
  part of the wifi driver did not work with > 2.6.21 kernels when I tried
  (due to network stack structure changes by the look of things).

- can I get the battery to charge without proprietary, binary-only,
  non-redistributable userspace code?  It did not seem like that was
  the case a couple months ago.  Perhaps it's better now?
