I tried the 2.6.10 kernels (build 737 and 741) and am not running very successful. 737 would panic during boot up when it detected the SCSI card (Adaptec SlimSCSI-1480 Cardbus card). After removing that as well as the Belkin FireWire Cardbbus card, it still crashed - so I don't think it's the card(s). I have the internal IPW2100 card up and running so I can sit in theiving room and watch TV while using the machine ;) - in 11 mbit mode801.11b, not g). The only other piece of extra hardware is a Logitech USB optical mouse.
