Hi!
I am curious, is there anybody who use linux (any kind) on a MSI Megabook L720 laptop?
I would like to share my experience and find new things.
I installed Ubuntu 7.04, works nice, except my wireless... I didn't have the time to play with...
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

I still haven't purchased my laptop yet, so I can't really help you there. Most people here use Windows so to find anyone who uses your specific laptop with linux on here might be tricky. You'd possibly have better luck on the Ubuntu forums. But do you know specifically what wireless chip is inside?

I have Gentoo running on a Dell Inspiron 9200 with wireless and all. What wireless chip are you using as we may be able to help you out if we know the card in the laptop. One thing you may want to check is that the wireless card is turned on as I had issues initially when going to set it up on the laptop I installed Gentoo on because the wireless card got turned off.
