In light of my new found love for Realtek, here's a list of the hardware that's still an issue for me in my new laptop:

• ipw3945 WiFi adaptor
  Mostly working, provided I don't try to make my WAP support 802.11b as well as g. See Novell bug #202619.
• Integrated SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro reader
  This is a Ricoh R5C822/R5C592 host adapter. The module to support this was merged with the main kernel tree starting with 2.6.17-rc1 and versions from 2.6.18-rc1 onwards contain a rewrite the followed a major audit of the code following the release of the specification of the interface. This means it should work with Factory/10.2.
• Internal modem
  Who cares?
• The various 'special' buttons around the keyboard
