Hey Eric !
man drivers
man ?
There's quite some problematic drivers said to
work in 32-bit mode,
but not on 64-bit mode. Certain WLAN drivers come to mind... which
is certainly a risk with brand-new notebooks.
Right....hmmm
I can just tell from my experience, and crawling on forums...and that is that
everything should run.
My wifi stick works f.ex....the driver is opensource.
madwifi should work fine.... intel stuff is also reported to work AFAIK.
dunno about atheros, buffalo etc though, but there exist drivers, they are
just quite new and most probably not shipped with any distro.
wlan, bluetooth, card-reader (bios/acpi) are probably the only things which
could cause problems I'd say
