Ok. Glad to hear it.

I would update to -CURRENT, but I'm a little worried about my
ATA drive not being detected with the new ATAng stuff. :)

Not to mention the hastle of having to compile all my userland
stuff from source. (You can't use packages with -CURRENT, right?
Or am I mistaken?)

This isn't a beater laptop. I actually use it for real work.
So maybe I'll just wait for 5.2-RELEASE...
