		+	Recently, 2.6.27 gentoo hit portage.
		+	There are several imporant changes.
		+
		+	My kernel config is [http://www.fuchsnet.ch/files/tp/config-2.6.27-gentoo here], the hdaps patch is [http://www.fuchsnet.ch/files/tp/hdaps-2.6.27.patch here]. Please note that you need a recent hdpasd to work with this new version.
		+
		+	Intels Wifi module is now split up and named iwlagn and iwlcore.
		+
		+	Suspend and Hibernate work without Tux on Ice kernels. (Just be patient with hibernate, you'll get a black screen for a while before it comes back up)
		+
		+	You also need a recent nvidia driver to work with the new kernel.
