Right now I'm running 2.2.17 and I seem to be one of those unfortunate people 
who had troubles.  I'm glad to hear 2.2.19 works better with the Linksys.  I 
have a friend with a fast connection who is downloading and burning the 
progeny installer or should I call it PGI or piggy.  I'm going to try it on 
my test machine.  Although when I did install Progeny Linux I did run into 
problems.  I'm sure they have worked out the bugs by now.

What Kernel is woody going to use?

Again thanks.
