You really fixed that twice? *scnr* Is it just me or does someone else notice that iwconfig tells me the strength of my wifi connection no longer in form of "50/100" but in the form "35/70" since I installed kernel 2.6.30? I use the iwlagn module. Thomas

<snip> Tobias, I have 2 Toshiba laptops. In the past madwifi would not work with ath5k or ath9k and would only function with ath_pci. I haven't had time to test with the new package yet, but are you saying ath_pci is gone and is replaced by ath5k exclusively? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

You have to use the PKGBUILDs to build your own version against 2.6.30. I think new PKGBUILDs updates to build with 2.6.30 will appear in AUR within days.

What's the Arch policy on the new default mount options for ext3? data=ordered (old, safe, slow behaviour) or data=writeback (new default, faster but riskier) I read on http://lwn.net/Articles/328363/ that you can customize the default setting. Personally I'ld stick to ordered for at least until the new data=guarded arrives but maybe that's just me. Dieter
