on a dell D820

[anoop aryal <aaryal@foresightint.com>]

hi,

i'm using unstable on dell D820.

1) i can't seem to get the dvd rw drive to be recognized. if it's being 
recognized, i can't seem to find which device to use. ide_cd and other 
doodads are loaded.

2) i read somewhere that the wireless card on this puppy works with the 
ipw3200 module. is there any chance that that would show up under module 
assistant?

3) i've got snd_hda_intel loaded but can't seem to get any sound. have alsa, 
will travel.

4) i've used broadcom cards before and this laptop has it too. when loading 
the tg3 module, i see a message saying something about a missing firmware. is 
there a firmware available for linux? what does the firmware give me that i 
wouldn't otherwise?

any help highly appreciated.
