    This is pretty much the same as the Inspiron 5100 I have. The onboard
    NIC is supported in stable, but I had some problems starting X: the
    BIOS wasn't completely mapped, and I had to compile it in to the
    server. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/diary-jul2003.html#25 for more
    details.
