No need to compile all of the kernel, you can blend in the drivers from the development tree quite easally as modules, using compat-wireless. See: http://linuxwireless.org/ Pro: the development at the (Intel) wireless drivers is quite active, there are many improvements. Con: there are still bugs, in some versions more than in others. best wishes, Winfried -- http://www.tilanus.com xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel. 015-3613996 / 06-23303960 fax. 015-3614406 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
