I would run stock BSware, except I had to custom compile the
kernel to make this NIC work.   :-(

FWIW, my new electric toothbrush has a wireless recharger.  There is no
exposted metal on the recharger unit or the toothbrush.  Both are totally

to be very close to each other and not practical for a laptop, but I think 
it's cool.
