Well, I just tested in-kernel 2.6.20 and alsa-driver 1.0.14_rc3 both |
| 21 |
work equally well with my Intel HDA in my IBM ThinkPad Z60m. |

The only reason I changed to alsa-driver was when there was a mismatch |
| 24 |
between alsa-lib and the 32 bit alsa-lib on ~amd64. I'll see if the |
| 25 |
in-kernel drivers work now (via-82xx). |

Based on my fond experiences with ipw2200, rt2500 and rt2x00, once |
| 28 |
something is in-kernel it just seem to work better, IMO. |
