I installed a new tagboard. Since I didn’t feel like doing the work myself all over again, it’s from here, and it works pretty well so far. I figured it’d help you guys who’re paying more attention to the laptop page out a bit more, if nothing else. We’ll see how it goes.

Speaking of which, yes, I know I’m still lagging on things. I got an email from a gentleman who said he patched the RTL8187B driver for the 2.6.24 kernel, so I sent it to another gent who tried it out, and got back a report of a kernel panic. D’oh! (The next post will have a link to the source.) The best way to reach me right now is probably one of the contact links in the sidebar.

I really am trying to get the ball rolling again, and I know that page is getting pretty cluttered. I was honestly just throwing some source and docs out there, I didn’t intend to become the maintainer of anything besides the Linux-Laptops site, but since I’m headed towards the top of Google for the RTL8187B, I might as well do what I can. :-)

I’ll keep you posted.

PS - Would the sir who sent me his 2.6.24 patch please email me again? I still have the patch, but lost your email, and you forgot to add your changes and contact info in credits. ;-)

Sorry, I know I’ve been lagging lately. I broke up with my girlfriend, moved out, and then the friends I’ve been staying with moved. Everything should be returning somewhat to normal soon. (The new place has many neighbors with open wireless. ;-))
