I did not mean to single out laptops. But from the traffic on this list that appears to be a good(?) way to have trouble. Buy a laptop. The other way is to buy some 'strange' unsupported hardware. Another way is to buy an unsupported WiFi. I don't do that. YMMV and it obviously does. As I have said. I have yet to have a kernel problem. Since hmm... 1999, might be 1998, or so when I first tried Linux. Lucky? I guess. But I doubt luck has anything to do with it. - -- ~ David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAkeBmvQACgkQAO0wNI1X4QEE1wCgizxhs6ukmI2BGtLkKtlJ7mtn TOMAoIwbRSwVG3maxhLSbyi7Yw4zu7ms =8z3t -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
