Hi -

I have a T20 with the mini pci card.  The ethernet works fine out of the
box, at least with RedHat.  I know it also works under Caldera,  but I'm
not sure if additional configuration is required.

The modem doesn't have the driver released publicly yet (but it works).  If
you ordered IBM's Caldera preload,  it comes with the driver,  but due to
licensing issues,   it hasn't been posted on the web yet.
