Meegopad T01 can be supplied additional power via the data USB port

Meegopad T01 is very attractive.
From my experiences, at least 1.5A (5V) is necessary to boot OS (windows8.1).  OS doesn't start up on a low-ampere AC adapter.  However, T01 seems to be recieved power from another microUSB port (for DATA) additionally.  Then, dual low-ampere AC adapters can make T01 start windows8.1 at own risk.

Ubuntu MATE for PowerPC

I tried to install Ubuntu-MATE, newly released for PowerPC, on my powermac G5 (2.0G Dualcore, late2005, GeForce6600LE) following Lubuntu 15.04.
Unfoutunately, my powermac always froze and couln't be installed neither 14.04LTS nor 15.04 beta-1 although I used many yaboot parameters such as "video=ofonly", "nouveau.noaccel=1" and "nouveau.modeset=0".  

Stabilizing Wi-Fi of ECS LIVA

My ECS LIVA is used as a Wifi router.
The wifi connections would be sometimes disconnected.  I checked the properties of Broadcom 802.11abgn wireless SDIO adpater but the settings of wireless mode such as g-only or channel-fixing were missing.
After some my trials, "BSS PLCP Header > long" on advanced tab improved my wifi conditions.
