[edit] CPUfreq
Do you know if it is possible to use cpufreq with this processor? As far as I found out, it does not support speedstep, but maybe I'm wrong?
- It is possible but you have to apply a patch. Please see the article for further information.

[edit] Keycodes
Could you explain a little bit wich keycodes i have to use with setkeycodes to get the special keys (e.g. wlan switch) running? Thanks in advance. Sonny
[edit] WLAN
What do you mean with "I had to use a git kernel to get wpa_supplicant to work with it.". What is a "git" kernel (sorry, english isn't my native language ;)) ?
I got the card working, with bcm43xx_fwcutter and a special firmware driver. Other versions of the firmware don't work, just produce a error message about incompatible firmware in the syslog.
Now the card works with WEP+WPA(2), but the problems you are mentioned (LED shows the wrong status, card doesn't work after suspend) are the same
- The author meant that he had to checkout the latest branch of the kernel from the repository which is using the version control system (VCS) "Git".
- You should use b43 instead because bcm43xx is outdated. You can follow Broadcom 43xx tutorial.

[edit] OpenGL
Do you got full hardware acceleration working? After many hours i got hw acceleration (glxgears shows framerates about 10.000 fps), but as soon as i start f.e. 3ddesktop, the whole x-server hangs (black screen, no keyboard or mouse input, but system is still running).
- Which driver are you using in xorg.conf?
