I don't have wireless, but the gentoo-test-sources have worked flawlessly for me since I moved over from ac-sources a week or so ago. No harm in trying right? If the test sources don't work maybe try the gs-sources (gentoo stable) which don't have all the hugely high performance patches applied and are designed to be stable and support a wide variety of hardware. I'm running these on my server with again, 0 problems. alan -- Alan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://arcterex.net -------------------------------------------------------------------- "There are only 3 real sports: bull-fighting, car racing and mountain climbing.
