Modem: Untested
Wireless: use the driver from rt2x00.serialmonkey.com because the bundled driver works only a few times
Memory Card reader: install the sdricoh_cs driver (from sourceforge) to enable the reader. It only reads SD. It does not work with MMC and MS is untested. Writing is not enabled by default and is untested

Wireless: use the driver neti2220x64 you can find on the web, with ndiswrapper. Works fine. WEP is ok, not tested with WPA. Follow the instructions in the "how to install wlan" howto at suselinuxsupport.de wireless networking forum. This laptop is exactly the same as the model Traveller 826T from Targa, so all things apply to both.

Suspend to RAM requires --force option then wipes the partition table. Memory Card reader tested with SD card only. Wireless works sometimes and sometimes not. Sound works, but plugging headphones does not switch the speakers off - this is driver problem.

Battery charge is not determined properly unless acpi=noirq boot option is used.
Suspend to ram needs -f parameter.

AFAIK everything on this lappy works with SuSE 11. Touchpad is Elantech, which works with default mouse driver, but drivers with full features are available (requires kernel recompile).
