Hi

Some friends have jornadas 7xx and 6xx, both of which work okay with NetBSD/hpcarm and NetBSD/hpcsh respectively. I have a NEC MobilePro 770, which is just a bit bigger, but NetBSD support is nicer imo. 

I have successfully used Orinoco wi(4) wireless pcmcia and ne(4) ethernet (and a dualspeed** ne(4) card (** ne(4) with dualspeed bridge built into it)). The SonyEricsson GC83 GPRS/EDGE modem connects the ppp session but drops, I suspect that the power lines arent giving it all it needs... (maybe a hardware hack would fix it? I just dont want to get down to wires...)

Kind Regards
Evaldo
