Stock -current works fine. I have one of these > cards; I use it regularly. I don't want to use -current, ESPECIALLY after the letter about "you don't have to receive version 3.0 if you don't want to and we don't recommend it for you unless you're a maniac". At this point in time, using a stable release which sucks a bit is much more attractive than using something which has been publicly stated as being hazardous. I don't have time to play around with it and debug it, I just want the fucker to work and work reliably as a stable platform (no, I'm not interested in how long people have had a -current system "up" for).
