I'm not using the newest hotspot-kernel, but 2.6.28-hotspot. It may even be self-compiled, because I played with some options (but no hotspot-relevant options).

I remember it was not much of a problem with my old laptop with kubuntu, but since I have this netbook, I prefer using the builtin UMTS-modem
