	There was a kernel update to Centrino support recently, this might
help.... there were lots of non-functional things there....   but I know

	Interesting duality with IBM there - they're kicking out Microsoft
all over the place, but the laptops are still owned by the OS.  Intel really
dropped the ball on supporting Centrino anywhere but under Windoze.
