Atheros:
Chipset FAILED completely AND crashed NM. NM could not be restarted. had to 
reboot computer. may have been low memory issue @ 256 mb causing some boot 
issues, raised to 384mb memory re-ran test, booting fine now. NM no longer 
crashing, however could NOT connect to hidden SSID. 

8.04 reported chipset as Atheros AR2413 802.11bg NIC - using ath_pci driver.
tested connecting to hidden SSID FAILS, I only use wpa2....is it important to 
test for wpa1 also just to give feed back ?
tested connecting to exposed SSID SUCEEDS, again, I use wpa2....don't know 
about wpa1.

This computer is just an old generic computer I built 10 years ago, PIII
@500mhz, 384mb memory(now), Nvidia video card, SCSI HD subsystem. Runs
7.10 just fine.

I still have suspicions that 256 mb memory is an issue right now with
current beta status. I'm assuming that basic hardware requirements are
still the same tho. Pentium class processor and min 256mb memory.

Alexander,
I will try to follow your instructions for patching on the next patch indicated 
that might fix this chipset. may day a few days to set up a dedicated 
installable test machine.
PS: I believe that matt and I REALLY were just talking to each other, not 
really complaining out loud to you or trying to drop hints.
