Hats off to the dCore development team! |

| ===== Ethernet ===== | ===== Ethernet ===== |
| The built-in Intel Corporation 82551QM Ethernet Controller needs the ''e100'' driver plus associated firmware. The module is built into the kernel but the firmware is not available in linux-firmware{-nonfree}. Instead, it is included in the Ubuntu package linux-image. | The built-in Intel Corporation 82551QM Ethernet Controller needs the ''e100'' driver plus associated firmware.

| Download the package for a suitable kernel version (ub-dCore-trusty is using 3.16.6 but the Ubuntu Trusty package for version 3.13 worked) and extract the folder '/var/lib/firmware/<KERNEL>/e100/'. Place it directly under '/var/lib/firmware/' (omitting '<KERNEL>') in dCore and add "var/lib/firmware/e100" to '.filetool.lst'. Issue ''backup'' and re-boot. | Download the package for a suitable kernel version (for Ubuntu-based dCore check [[http://packages.ubuntu.com|packages.ubuntu.com]]) and extract the folder '/lib/firmware/<KERNEL>/e100/'.

| The device originally came with a Mini-PCI wireless card that only supported 802.11b with WEP but not WPA. That card needs to be replaced by a more recent one. | The device originally came with a Mini-PCI wireless card that only supported 802.11b with WEP but not WPA.

| ===== Pen input ===== | ===== Pen input ===== |
| The pen uses Finepoint technology which needs the ''xserver-xorg-input-fpit'' X-driver. That driver is currently not available from any Debian-based repository. A [[http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,18185.msg112557.html#msg112557|request]] for custom packaging has been made in the forum. | The digitizer uses Finepoint technology which needs the ''xserver-xorg-input-fpit'' X-driver. That driver is unmaintained and does not work anymore with [[http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,18185.msg112557.html#msg112557|current versions of Xorg]]. -- RIP, TC1000 Tablet PC! |

| | ===== Suspend ===== |
| | Suspending to RAM by echoing "mem" into '/sys/power/state' does //not// work, although '/sys/power/state' contains "freeze standby mem disk". The screen briefly goes black and then returns with an error message stating that there is "no such device". |
| | |
| | Un-loading the tc1100_wmi driver changes the situation in such a way that the computer does go into suspension. However, upon resuming, it shows highly interesting screen effects and no user interaction is possible any more. |
| | |
| | ===== PCMCIA-slot ===== |
| | A CF-card gets detected by ''cardctl'' (from the pciutils package) but I have not found a way to access its content. |
