The benchmarks they run are pretty much what I'd do to test, so I'd more than 
likely get the same results, and waste a bunch of time.

2.6.30 did seem to fix the ssd error. but the first time I suspended, my r8169 
decided to flip out. I had to rmmod and modprobe it to get the network back 
up.

At this point I was getting repeated "link up" messages and even though 
ifconfig said the network was up, there was no actual connectivity. as 
mentioned only rmmod+modprobe of r8169 fixed the problem. It doesn't seem to 
happen often though.

I'll update if i see anymore issues.
