Felix,

I'm not using the Rogers kernel at all. Because it is not cleared for Ubuntu release it is still somewhat poorly integrated into Lucid (Prime example is the Ralink wireless drivers no longer working properly because integration of the rt2870 and rt2860 have been lost. Yes, I could recompile them, but I have read the directions, and frankly , its a risk-filled PiTA, instead I have installed the 2.6.32.23, which is the latest Ubuntu kernel available in the regular repositories. That, plus the 855 path, the Rogers Mesa, and the Glasenhardt driver git716 (newly released, and IMHO, working really well, 16 hours of random screensavers and no crashes). I simply have found this recipe to work, and be easy to implement for a dummy like me.
