netbooks and sdhci

[David Horwitt]

I recently purchased an Asus Aspire One D250-1151, and am,overall,
pleased with it (running 7,2-RELEASE).
The alc ethernet is not supported in 7.2 (the ath0 wireless is), and I
don't care about the video camera.

The '5-in-1' media reader is, unfortunately for me, a USB device. (After
some detective work, I determined that
it uses a Reaktek RTS5101 or RTS5111). For my purposes (low level SDHC
card access), I prefer hardware that is
supported by the sdhci/mmc subsystem.

So my question is: does anybody know _for sure_ of a hard-disk netbook
with a media reader that uses the sdhci interface
and is supported by FBSD 7.2 (supported = wireless,X,USB). $USD300 (like
the AA1-D250) is the desired price point, but
up to about $USD400 is OK (as is FBSD 8.0, if the hardware is right). If
you have any pointers, please
include the sub-model information, because if it's anything like the
Asus, the hardware varies all over the place, and
'Aspire One' means less than 'D250' or 'AO150'.

Thank you,
David

Acer Aspire One D150. note 'Acer' ! is what i'd recommend.

This is a hard-disk netbook.

Here are the complete hardware and installation details

The website
http://www.acer.com/aspireone/about.html

In India it costed me about INR 21,500 (or $430) in March 2009.
YMMV.
