Been experimenting with CentOS 5.4 some more. In order to get my wireless card to work (Broadcom BCM4311) I need Broadcom's wl.ko driver (http:// www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php).

I downloaded the 2.6.27 kernel source and compiled my own kernel and it seems to work with that. However, for some weird reason, with any given self-compiled kernel (tried 2.6.18-8, 2.6.25 and 2.6.27) klaptop won't allow me to configure any standby/hibernation options because it doesn't recognize any of them. They do work perfectly fine though, I can pm- suspend the laptop from command-line.
Any idea what else I could do? Either getting wl.ko to work with 2.6.18 (does somebody have a version older than 5.10.79.10 that they could email me?) or getting klaptop to realize that the laptop does indeed know how th suspend and hibernate with a non-CentOS-kernel would be fine.
There is a "CentOS" kernel 2.6.24. If you wish to give it a try, you can download from my site at:
http://centos.toracat.org/kernel/centos5/realtime/
It is a direct rebuild of the Red Hat MRG realtime kernel[1]. Please note that I offer them for testing purposes, not for production use.
