Marc,

So far so good. I am answering this using the beta driver. This laptop
has been up running under this driver now for 27 minutes without a single
hang.  I do recommend to others to rpm -e the old driver and once they
have the new driver, BEFORE they install, reboot and then install the
new driver. This is what I did and so far, so good!!

Thanks,

Keith
