Anyone know if it is possible to get the Broadcom wireless working in a 64 bit linux distro now that the 64 bit broadcom drivers are available?

Unless the COSTCO has some additional rebates available, it's not worth it. Considering that BestBuy is selling the Gateway 7422GX for about $1400 (probably $1250 with rebates when they are available). The new machine not only has a much faster processor 3400+, but 1GB of memory, an 80GB HD, and a DVD burner. I think the built in wireless also supports the improved speed boosting tech, but don't quote me on that one as I haven't seen the machine yet. This is a much better bang for buck machine then my already outdated 6805.

Does anyone know if there is an adapter that would let me power my m6805 from a cigarette litter.

Thanks, I will post it there.... unless someone wants it first here???
What username is it under? I currently have a bid in on an M6805, which ends tomorrow. Looking to pick one of these up, as it's a great unit for the price they are going for.Originally posted by: AVSpec
Thanks Bigal. Good idea... just posted it...

Getting the run-around from eMachines tech support regarding the BIOS upgrade that was released on the M6805 and my 6807 machine.
got the Big Fix message a couple weeks ago that a BIOS upgrade was available for "my" M6805. I was almost going to download the update, but decided that I should call tech-support just to make sure that this can be used for the 6807. I have always understood that they were twins. I also wouldn't have thought that this "fixlet" message would have been delivered to me unless it was for my computer.
Tech-support guy gave me the run-around. He said that since the BIOS upgrade is listed for the 6805, that is the only machine that it is for. It has not been tested and approved on the 6807. He said that even though the mother board is the same on the two models, he could not advise that I install the BIOS upgrade. I aske if he could talk to someone else, or if I could call somewhere to ask for someone else, but he said there is no one to call. Right!!!! No one to call! Where are the technicians that came up with the 6805 BIOS upgrade in the first place, or other issues? He was giving me the ignorant, safe corporate line. Frustrating that they wouldn't get me any answers. Somone at eMachines knows the answer. I am sure there are hundereds if not thousands of other 6807 owners out there that need the upgrade. Guess I am the only one stupid enough to call and ask.
Has anyone installed this 6805 BIOS upgrade on a 6807?
I did install SPII months ago, and the machine did not run well at all. Hung up at shut down & other problems. Luckily I got SPII uninstalled and the machine has been running fine ever since. I would like to have SPII installed on my machine in order to "enjoy" the added security features and have my machine up to date, but not at the cost of having the machine trashed and spending hours trying to straighten it out.
Any sugestions? Anyone else using a 6807?
I origionally posted this message on Hard|forum. Any other good forums dedicated to the eMachines M68XX? Found this one a few months ago, just registered today.

To be quite fair the guy is NOT giving you the run around - he is simply using an ACM as the BIOS update is not "officially" supported by Emachines.
From what you have said here, he has essentially inferred that it should work but is not going to say so expressly.
If something went wrong then they would potentially be at fault - right now you can quite possibly do the upgrade and everything will be ok (that's your call though!).
Try searching for some other information on the net and contact people who have actually done the "upgrade" to see if they have any comments.
