I don't usually say this... But if you're brave, consider taking a look at a 2.6.x kernel at some point. With 2.6.x I get an extra 25% battery life thanks to the cpufreq stuff, and my PCMCIA USB2 card works. Of course, please remember that Gentoo probably still doesn't officially support 2.6.x kernels on x86 blah blah blah own risk experimental flying monkeys. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail: ciaranm at gentoo.org Web: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
