The CPU is a single core cpu that dmesg says is a "Mobile Intel(R) 
Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 2.00GHz". I have no ACPI error that I am aware of, 
but havent played with suspend and resume etc.

I dont recall what brand the wlan chip is but it uses a Lucent chipset. 
It uses the wi0 driver and was the mini pci card supplied by Toshiba. 
Dmesg  says;

wi0: <TOSHIBA Wireless LAN Card> at port 0xc000-0xc03f irq 11 function 0 
config 1 on pccard0
wi0: using Lucent Embedded WaveLAN/IEEE
wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station (8.10.1)
