Hi, My Gentoo laptop is a Macbook Pro SantaRosa (late 2007, probably MA896LL/A , following wikipedia). Since I use it for work I've always been quite conservative with it... it is an x86 machine and I upgrade things only after having read things here and there on the ML and possibly elsewhere (Still have to upgrade xorg, for example, will do it soon).
The oldest piece I haven't touched is the kernel. It is 2.6.24-rc6 vanilla-sources, which were the first mostly working with the laptop... and never touched since. Now I want to ask the list: 1) Does anyone have a recent kernel config for this kind of machine? 2) What are the caveats and pitfalls I should be aware of when upgrading to latest kernel? I confess that reading CHANGELOGs didn't help me too much, quite confusing. Also, I wonder if portage's madwifi now supports the Macbook Pro chipset... I had to use SVN one at the time. thanks, m.
