Description: It's a rather old laptop, as it only has USB 1.1 on it, but the only thing that has not been even tested in Linux is the IEEE 1394 port. Everything else works perfectly.

I added a Netgear WG511T Wireless card to the computer, which accounts for the Atheros Ethernet controller. It works, too.

The only major problem is that the speaker volume is quite low, and I haven't gotten around to trying out the video out port.

Otherwise, it's working like a dream.
