Even with the ndiswrapper drivers, on the rare occasion that I have problems, rmmod ndiswrapper && modprobe ndiswrapper is all I need to do. To bring this back to the original post, I really like my Compaq presario V2000 (14" laptop). I also really hate ATI. I like the small form factor, linux screams on this things (64bit Turion), but the card reader does not work, and you need to jump through a couple of hoops to get ndiswrapper working. Having said that, I have a hard time recommending this laptop unless you really want the small size. > > On 5/28/06, *Jon* <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: > > - gpg control packet > Mitchell Brown wrote: >> DO NOT GO THE ACER ROUTE. >> You will have nothing but headaches.
