I bought my A215-S4722 in November. I think we received my rebate in late 
January.

I have only rebooted it once (17 days ago) since starting to use in mid 
November. Now I remember why -- my wife accidently unplugged it and the 
battery died. I don't have any hibernation or recovery configured or in 
use.

I am using NetBSD 4.0_RC4 for amd64.

I don't use the built-in wireless -- no driver support but the USB-based 
internal device is detected when turned on.

The flash card reader doesn't work for me. I need to research that more.

I am using for X:

xf86-video-vesa-1.3.0nb1
modular-xorg-server-1.3.0.0nb3


It is very fast and works fine for me.
