I've been using the linux-wlan-ng prism2 drivers since I  bought my T30,
they work just fine with the onboard wireless - haven't had a single
instance of it stopping.  I'm running on RH 7.3, although that shouldn't
make a large difference.  The only thing I tweaked was the apm scripts,
adding network and wlan stop and start.
