I'd just like to pass on that I've got an FX5200 plus, running the 
7167 drivers, 2.6.10-1.770_FC2 and the 0.17 release without 
a hitch so far.  I upgraded from 6111 a while ago, didn't 
have any issues, then a couple nights later upgraded 
to 0.17 from 0.16 (release via atrpms) and fortunately 
haven't had any problems so far.
