Hello,

I've just installed my IBM x60 laptop running NetBSD-current,
but there are some issues, so I have few questions :

* Is core duo supported as SMP ? (i've tried both MPBIOS and MPACPI but none works)

* the wm(4) driver doesn't seems to support i82573L gigabit ethernet,
  I've seen port of the FreeBSD em(4) driver around, will this interface be
  integrated into wm(4) or em(4) imported from FreeBSD ?

* ipw3945 (market name : centrino 2 ?) wireless support ?

* are bluetooth stack + interfaces planned/going on etc.. ?

* SATA AHCI support ? (gracefully compatibility mode is still available from BIOS)

I know it is a fairly recent hardware and it can take time, but these are
just questions and hope :)

Thanks for NetBSD and your precious work,

Regards,
Eric.
