Hello,

I am trying to fully install SuSE 7.1 on Toshiba TECRA 8000DVD. Is there any someone's docs from previous experience with this laptop?

At the moment I found difficulties to install sound with Alsa. I have already tried to manually configure the Yamaha OPL3SA2 driver module with same values I got in my BIOS. However I never could initialize the module.

Also I had problems to configure my network card. It is a Xircom Modem+Lan PCMCIA. Modem is already working, and PCMCIA seems to be ok. When I initilize the PCMCIA the lan leds flash because of network traffic... but when I try to set up this lan card as interface eth0 the system hangs up. I alrady tried both DHCP and static IP configurations.

If there is no docs with solutions for this installation I'll try to provide my own when I finally get it working.
