Boggle.

I haven't tried upstream lately, but every time I have tried iwl it has been a
horrible failure. It has a lifespan of a few minutes to a few hours (random)
and when it fails, a reboot is the only thing that fixes it.

In contrast, I switched to using the ipw driver, and while it totally fails
under Network Manager, it works perfectly under traditional ifup network
controls.

So I would really hope that SUSE 11.0 goes the other way, fixes Network
Manager, and uses the ipw3945 driver.
