There were some when the driver was made available in CURRENT, I have no severe issue at this time. wpi is quite stable except that after a while when running in autoselect speed mode, the speed of the link drops slowly to 0. Forcing manually the speed fixes that. I haven't read other people complaining about that, so I live with it (I'm not a big wireless fan). -- bug
