I tried the 2.6.32.6 koji build - there were 4 warnings about missing things (firmware) for drivers I was not using (aic9xxx, qlaxxx, mmm forgoet what else) - i did add ati-firmware which I did find (even tho im using nvidia). There was warning about nouveau during the rpm -i which I am using - but I crossed my fingers and it seems to work. iwl4965 wifi is improved substantially (speed for N is once again visible) - the last test is the warn slowpath bug which I am pretty sure is fixed in this kernel too - it triggers when lots of packets go thru - so I will run a backup which usually triggers the bug to see. So a few small tidy ups but so far working well for me (64 bit). gene -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
