Oh no, I have a DWL-122 and it is extremely unstable on my ibook g4
under any 2.6 kernel, with and without preempt enabled. Also my
friend tried running it under MacOS and said it caused many lockups.
I don't know if Im doing something wrong to cause it to be so unstable
that it is unusable, but if you like it and its stable for you, I
would be eger to hear how you got it to be so.
