    2. Wireless adapter was not detected during install of Red Hat Client 5. Required installation of NDIS driver. See this configuration note for details. http://www.linux-tested.com/notes/CFG_NOTE_4965_RHC5.html
    3. Laptop does not recover properly when entering powersave mode unless an external monitor is attached.
