Wireless doesn't work
Here's the result of lspci for wireless :08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 01)The way to make it work should be:
1 Install ndiswrapper :
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper2 Download the driver of wireless card for Windows
for Gateway,we need the driver rtl8187b Downloaded. And use ndiswrapper to install the driver: ndiswrapper -i xxx.inf Load ndiswrapper by sudo modprobe ndiswrapperVERY IMPORTANT: If you have a Vista on the laptop,the wireless will simply NOT work,I don't know why,but after my OpenSUSE accidentally disabled the Vista,which came with Gateway T1616,the wireless magically started to work! Update: This method works not very well, if this is true for you, you may want to try the Native Driver for RTL8187B 2
Sound Card Doesn't work
The solution turned out to be very simple:install the package alsa-toolssudo apt-get install alsa-toolsThen make sure that every thing displayed in alsamixer is NOT muted.
alsamixerUse key left and right to switch between different column,us key m to voice the muted ones\ After these two things, Gateway T1616 basicly functioned completely.Except that the mic and web camera is still not working. I'll working on it~~
