Well I have an iBook G4, 12 inch with the built-in bluetooth module (add
on, not in the standard unit) and I haven't been able to get sleep
working under Ubuntu Hoary. I am willing to help out with testing though
unfortunately I will not be able to make it to LCA. (Live on other side
of the continent).

Here are the details you requested as they relate to my machine.

huntm@tabernacle:~ $ cat /proc/cpuinfo

Note: The clock speed is 533 because of CPU Frequency Scaling.

machines. Eric and I both have 1.1 machines.

Hope you can :-) Just to let you know that I think the work you have
done so far is great and certainly appreciated by me. Just hope to get
it working with my particular iBook RSN. (Real Soon Now).

Have fun at LCA.
