This should work properly with my recent trees. It works at least
on my Pismo which has a very similar chipset to the TiPbook

That should be fixed too

My current tree contains partially working firewire. I can mount
SBP2 hard disks and use them without trouble using an LSI-logic
based disk. Some users reported either working or non-working
disks depending, apparently, on the chipset they are based on.
CD burning over firewire tends to lockup the kernel. This is still
beeing investigated.

That one probably need some work to power up properly the IR LED on
those recent machines (we only have code for older boxes).

PC-Card works. The name change is old, PCMCIA is really a deprecated
name since years ;)

That is not supported in HW for any new machine. The analog output of
the CD drive is not connected to any sound input on the motherboard, you
have to extract the audio datas from the CD using something like cdparanoia
or whatever xmms plugin works, and send that to the sound driver.

I don't think ide-scsi is needed, my understanding is that the normal IDE
CD driver supports all the necessary calls for that.
