Hi, |

My Gentoo laptop is a Macbook Pro SantaRosa (late 2007, probably |
4 |
MA896LL/A , following wikipedia). Since I use it for work I've always |
5 |
been quite conservative with it... it is an x86 machine and I upgrade |
6 |
things only after having read things here and there on the ML and |
7 |
possibly elsewhere (Still have to upgrade xorg, for example, will do it |
8 |
soon). |

The oldest piece I haven't touched is the kernel. It is 2.6.24-rc6 |
11 |
vanilla-sources, which were the first mostly working with the laptop... |
12 |
and never touched since. |

|
14 |
Now I want to ask the list: |
15 |
1) Does anyone have a recent kernel config for this kind of machine? |
16 |
2) What are the caveats and pitfalls I should be aware of when upgrading |
17 |
to latest kernel? I confess that reading CHANGELOGs didn't help me too |
18 |
much, quite confusing. |

Also, I wonder if portage's madwifi now supports the Macbook Pro |
21 |
chipset... I had to use SVN one at the time. |

thanks, |
