Comment 7 for bug 482535

I put a fresh install of Lucid on the machine and the wifi and bluetooth failed to work. So clearly modern Linux kernels are not managing the Sony add-in (Sony Programmable I/O Controller -- SPIC) of the past that dealt with wifi and bluetooth. I guess the code has been removed as it used to work.

Sadly the machine can only take a maximum of 384MB of main memory, whilst operating systems these days seem to require 1GB or more to operate. With Lucid the machine was more or less unusable due to swapping -- especially apparent when using Unison, so I have had to retire it. This is a great shame as its sound card is far superior to anything that gets put into modern laptops, but that is a rant for a different forum.
