I had partial success with the wpi driver on Toshiba Satellite A105-40??. I need to systematically write the steps & the output & post about the problems to the -mobile@ list. In short, before I recompiled the kernel (6.2-PRERELEASE) with kdb, & more importantly with WITNESS & INVARIANTS support, after loading the driver, system used to go in panic on shutdown or reboot. There definitely was a working connection during my unstructured testing. Will post again w/ more details. - Parv --
