What is and what will be the list of hardware that the 3MX distro supports of Hardware?
I will test what I have in hardware once I get my Belco Alpha 400 installed with 3MX.
But a list of what is known to work would be much appreciated and a good reference point to start with.
Thanks
Alpha

as any other linux distribution everything is supported that the kernel can do ;)
so if you need more than what the 2.4 kernel already supports you need to compile additional modules or a new kernel.

i wouldnt recommend making a list of what the kernel supports - would be a tremendously huge list of hardware and it would change between kernel versions that are compiled with different build-in modules.

a better question would be: what does the stock kernel that comes with the device does not support.
for example i read of printer, hsdpa and usb storage modules that are supplied by cnm for their netbook [1] which suggests that these functionalities are not included in the stock version.
