Hi, I upgraded recently my Macbook Pro to gentoo-sources 2.6.31 and I have annoying network hiccups which I didn't have with the old 2.6.24. b.g.o. and google return me something on sky2-related hiccups, but only related to very old kernels (2.6.23), but maybe you know better. (Hopefully)

Six depends on kde 3.5, which has been hardmasked for removal from the portage tree. I believe you can use the kde-sunset overlay to keep it around if you really need it. Or maybe there's a version in the works for KDE 4? Chris Reffett On 01/02/2010 11:12 AM, Kevin O'Gorman wrote: I've been
