Hi All,

I'm giving serious thought to loading 5.1 on my Inspiron 1501 laptop, but I'm wondering about certain hardware support such as the following:

• • Broadcom Wireless Adapter - 1390 Wlan (bcm43xx)
• • USB (Pny Memory Stick - everytime on previous version CentOS has eaten

the damned things)

• • pptp vpn client(s)

Any comments?

It seems everybody already answered the first two points ... Regarding the pptp vpn client, i've rebuilt the pptpconfig pptp client (gtk interface) and all the deps and they are now also on http://centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/i386/RPMS/ ...
