What model card have you got, and what's the chipset?  I'm interested.
It would be nice to get a Super-G capable card that works with the
standard kernel.

I use mostly atheros chipset stuff and I've never been able to get a
kernel to work that was default with 4 stacks.  I either get a lockup or
the box reboots.  I have read that the stack requirements for the win32
drivers naturally vary from product to product.

TIA!
