You are absolutely right. Here it is:
Wireless: Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (2x2 AGN)
Display: 12.5" Premium HD (1366x768) LED Backlit Display, Mobile
Broadband Ready, 2x2 Antenna
The GPU is Intel (i915 module)
The laptop type is 4286.
Other notes:
- I installed the 64-bit version of F15.
- I use gpointing-device-setting to disable the trackpad, but the
settings do not persist across reboots. Even though
gpointing-device-setting says the trackpad is disabled, I have to enable
and then disable it again to take effect.
Let me know if I can provide more information.
Christos.
