Well, I'm using it on 486, 586, 686 and 6x86 without problems.
But laptops have often "interresing" behaviors :)
Could you give an example of the timeout message (in 1.6.2.2, the timeout
message is a bit more verbose).

Also, 1.6.2.2 is the same as 1.8. Could you try rev 1.7 ? This would narrow
down a bit the changes which caused that.
