Re: Samsung NC10

Hi Chris,

I bought a Samsung NC10 last week, and I'm in the midst of transferring
all my personal files to it having installed everything I need from
pkgsrc. The only caveat is that the wired ethernet port uses a Marvell
chipset that's not used by NetBSD.

Any updates? Did you test the NC1ß with -current? If the ethernet port is still not supported I think every USB2ethernet adaptor should work. Or am I wrong about that?


I haven't tried -current, as I need the NC10 to pretty closely match my
development machine at work that's running 5.0_RC3. I don't think the
wired ethernet would work with -current, but that's not an issue for me
anyway, as I'm using wireless via the built in Atheros chipset.

Do the FN-keys, the camera and the sd card-reader work under -current?
What about the table on http://netbsd.org/ports/i386/netbook.html
are the entries for the NC10 still correct?


I haven't tried the SD reader as I don't have a card to test with, and
while the camera is recognised (dmesg attached), I haven't tried that
either. The bluetooth chipset is recognised, but I also lack any
bluetooth devices to test with. The Fn keys definitely don't work.

I mostly use the machine for developing in Java and C when I'm at home, and for internet access when I'm away. For those needs I'm finding the keyboard comfortable for extended use, and the screen size is fine.


Best, Mark

Regards,

Chris
