    My Sager 5760 has arrived :)

    I sat around all afternoon waiting and I almost thought it wasn't going to arrive today and that I'd have to wait until Monday before the UPS guy would show up. But at around 5:00pm he pulled into the driveway and I saw him carry the distinctive "Portable Power People" box to the front door.

    I'm playing around with it right now, installing/configuring software, etc. One problem though, the Intel wireless keeps losing its connection to my access point. I'm going to try reinstalling the drivers and disabling the MAC filtering on my AP.

    I think I fixed the issue with the wireless. I turned off WPA2 security on my access point and set it to use WPA security instead. Now I can connect to the access point using both wireless g and a. I'm not sure if the problem is with Intel's drivers (the 3945 wifi chipset does support WPA2 I believe), or with my access point's firmware. But I'll use WPA for now until WPA2 gets fixed.
