I’m running Gutsy and it doesn’t seem like I’m upgrading to Hardy until I know everything will still work… :-)

I installed hardy 8.04 alpha 5. But some problems, as with any alpha: no sound, and the computer is too hot, it also has problems with suspend, as the fedora guy said. And I cannot download the DVD from dell. I'll try from home. Thank you. I installed hardy 8.04 alpha 5.

It worked out of the box when I installed from the DVD image provided by Dell!

lspci -nn shows this:

09:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller [11ab:4354] (rev 12)

My kernel is:

Linux dell-desktop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

dmesg says:

One question. I got the computer inspiron 1525 that came with a ethernet card Marvell® Yukon 88E8040. Do you know if this card is supported in the inspiron dell DVD? I have many problems with this card. Hi!
