Me 2!
I installed it on 2 boxes with wired/wireless so far and installed wicd with slackpkg and it even detected & set-up my wireless connection perfect!
I installed a bunch of my 12.1 pkgs and everything just worked!
Nuthin' to fix.
Maybe something in Current will break so I'll have something to do.
I haven't even gotten to the NVIDIA card yet. Buy a @!%$@%& realtek 8185 wireless card, and you might have just a little fun. { Got one for sale, Real Cheap }

I've vowed never to buy another Realtek card again out of spite. Two ethernet cards I have (both Realtek) have to have their speed explicitly defined using ethtool, and will not work at all without specifying that. Very annoying. I had the same problem in Windows, so I definitely blame Realtek and not Linux.
Never had a problem with my Nvidia cards at all..........
My Nvidia card installation with 12.1 went very smoothly......however I'm having problems with 12.2 and don't know why. Getting some help in another post. I may just wipe this drive again and re-install.
