I recently had to re-build my system (now: ASUS M2N-VM HDMI motherboard, EVGA NVidia e-GeForce 8800GT 512, AMD AM2 Athlon 64 4800+, Corsair 512MBx2 DDR2 PC5300 RAM, Sony DWG120A DVD+/-RW and - RaLink (Belkin) RT2500 PCI 802.11g (F5D7000) wireless network card) and installed Hardy 32bit. The new system is amazing - Hardy is wonderful - the best yet. I would love to use AMD64 but couldn't run Second Life.
However, like the others above i needed to use a speed fix. I have added a start up script that upgrades the speed to 54M. But, although this works, the driver is unstable and often crashes the wireless link. I find I have to switch off and re-boot to re-set. This is unacceptable as I am re-booting several times an hour. I cannot believe this new driver was added to an enterprise edition when the old one has been working faultlessly since Dapper came out.
