Perhaps it's related to the recent alsa upgrade, but my sound seems to
work for a few minutes every boot, then stops - I haven't had much
time to fiddle with it, but it's an intel hda card.

I can look into it more later.

Quick question - how long before 2.6.21 is released? I was holding on
the ndiswrapper upgrades because I expected the new kernel to come
out, but I don't know if I should just upgrade ndiswrapper for .20
right now
