Shutdown the Nvidia
At the moment the acpi patch to acpi_call is working well. When the laptop is suspend2ram or suspend2disk when it wakes up the nvidia is again running. There must be an easy way to run the acpi script to shut it down every time. It could be better if we could tell the nvidia not to power on anymore (acpi method maybe?)

Wireless & Bluetooth
The Broadcom wireless card is in fact a dual band which includes Bluetooth 3.0. Is the card mode exclusive (Wireless *or* Bluetooth) or is it possible to use both at once (Wireless *and* Bluetooth)? It must be possible to switch it by hardware or software.

It is possible dual band with broadcom-sta nd bt_usb kernel driver...

Use the Nvidia card
There are some discussion over there that the Nvidia is writing to the Intel frame buffer when is it on (Nvidia Ion2 system). There must be an acpi method to enable/disable this mode. So if this is the case Linux shouldn't need to care about the Nvidia card but only for power (in hardware). After some tests it seems on Windows 7 that games like Starcraft II makes the system unstable (maybe it's an GPU memory or GPU synchronization issue).
