Congratulations! The updated graphics driver is very welcome, finally my screen brightness works and I'm sure it'll be more stable. One issue is my sys-wifi which uses an Intel wireless card. This worked perfectly in the 3.1 but now I get a kernel crash in the module responsible for my card,

Assume you have a disconnected Vault VM with your passwords, and a Shopping VM where you access Amazon, etc. Highest security is to copy/paste passwords over from the Vault as needed. Less secure (but still highly secure) is to cache them in the Firefox database. What path do people generally

I created a NetVM and attached my WIFI card to it, worked great and I connected to the network. Later killed the VM and restarted (restarted the computer actually) - no go. Even though "lspci" shows the card still attached and available, the WiFI Network connect widget says no network devices

Would like to do some rc2 testing and have a USB CDROM which I believe is supported? AFAIK it's the internal drives which can't be done. I installed 'wodim' but it's not seeing any drivers. Attaching the block device to a VM doesn't work either (the CDROM isn't visible to wodim). I tried
