Sid on Acer Aspire AS3690. Works quite well. Not sure if resuming from
suspend always works properly. Wireless is a Broadcom AirForce One,
supported by bcm43xx, works quite well but you'll need (non-free)
firmware (bcm43xx-fwcutter). Haven't used modem, bluetooth, cardreader.
My installation report is bug #410328.
