No problems, I've just updated that page... it already suggested 2.6.39, but I've just clarified this, linking to this thread. So far it seems to be more stable on wireless than MacOS X. Under the latter I do get the bizzare problem where an ARP packet will get dropped due to some radio conditions here, then the MacBook disappears from the IPv4-visible network (despite being accessible via IPv6). So evidently the b43 driver is working better than the Broadcom one. I just wish they'd stop playing their silly proprietary games and just contribute to the b43 driver instead of taking this lone ranger approach. Surely any cats are out of the bag by now and that this is just a needless duplication of effort. Anyway, I'll get off the soap box before I get pushed. :-) Thanks for the assistance.
