No I installed 3 different OS's Suse, Fedora and Gentoo.

Um, my company, being a bunch of geeks actually ENCOURAGE us to test new
stuff. And the wireless isn't busted. Since you apparently don't
bother reading the entire thread, I'll say it slowly.
It...works...but...will...it...work...with....2.6.22?

This dumb? My friend, I've been running linux since Slackware 3. I
know what I'm doing with it. For years, I've been on the RH and Fedora
mailing lists since I prefer those OS's (because I live in NC and have a
loyal streak in me.) and until recently been very happy with the Fedora
community. As I said, your first post irritated me. It was not helpful
in any sense of the word, and even with bandwidth becoming more of a
commodity, if it's not helpful, don't bloody waste our time with it.
