The short answer is 'everything works'.  The long answer is that the SD
slot doesn't work, because there aren't any drivers, and the hard drive
active protection system doesn't work.  I don't know that the security
chip thingy does any good.

But, that aside, wireless, Bluetooth, suspend-to-RAM, suspend-to-disk,
the dock, external video, ethernet, USB, ACPI, sound, even the internal
modem all work just fine.
