I have zero lags. The psb driver (sans the packaging/distribution mess) works perfectly. I don't see any need for Intel to formally support the psb driver on Karmic as long as they just support the driver in general. Did Atheros support the Hardy wireless driver of years past? This whole psb mess has given me a bad feeling about Ubuntu. Again, the driver works, it's the packaging/distribution/politics that suck. Shame on Ubuntu if they don't support this in Karmic as the Poulsbo chipset is probably the most important thing for Ubuntu to pay attention to. There are now hundreds of thousands of inexpensive (cheaper than an iPhone!) netbooks hitting the market with the Poulsbo chipset. Most of those are going to go to college, and other, students who will be eager to try *any* Linux distro on them. If it works on Gentoo, then they will stick with Gentoo. <- Marc S, Pete G, you reading this?
