Happy owner of a R32 here ... the on-board
ethernet is actually eepro100, and well supported
by the Linux-kernel. Or did you install a WLAN-
board?
The only issue (not an issue for me, though) is
the modem-chipset built into the box ... it's currently
NOT supported.
ACPI works fine with Kernels > 2.4.18 and the
patches from
http://acpi.sourceforge.net ...
Which makes me wonder whether you shouldn't
go for a distro that uses stock-kernels ...
Slack, Debian, Gentoo, ...
Cheers,
