The only problem I has was getting the wireless working. Loading bcm43xx froze the system. I went back to ndiswrapper which had a less dramatic stability problem that went away with the 1.43 version. I also went to the current kernel from kernel.org since that way the laptop's SD card reader works. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.
