1. This might be a "kill" switch? Some of my problems were certainly due |

| 8 |
susceptable to the wonderful new driver attacks - and had failed to turn |

it on when booting up hardened Linux (which I believe is NOT susectable to |
| 10 |
the driver buffer overflows). |

2. I also suggest a step by step walk-through of the following page (check |
| 13 |
your kernel config). |

P.S. Contrary to their suggestion, I emerged the latest driver/firmware |

from portage. |
