Yes, the later drivers work wonders for the stall which was a pain in
the ass sometimes, hehe.
I used the Win partition on the T43 to get to the IBM device driver
download pages, and ended up downloading a huge 56Meg file just to get
the 2 small files I wanted.
When I get to that laptop later I'll compare the date of those drivers
with the one's available from Intel.
The one's I have work well once up and running, but at first cold boot
TRAP out in Genmac before the desktop comes up, but by warm booting with
Cntrl-alt-del directly after the TRAP everything works perfectly 2nd
time around.
