    Hi!

    I got my HEL80. I installed the gentoo distrib. I would like to know if any of you has set up the biometric device, bluetooth and card reader either through the kernel or else if you have a 3rd-party kind of nice driver from ENE.

    I'm starting checking out over here first. I just finished recompiling the whole system on x86-x64. I'm very impressed. I will post when I get something.

    On my other laptop I hated the Intel ipw2200 so this time I made sure to get a barebone HEL and I got an Atheros AR5006EX chipset wifi card. This one is working super great.

    Video card nvidia 7600 working excellent too.

    I will look for biometric, bluetooth and card reader.

    If you know anything let me know.

    Thanks guys
