eCS v2.0 RC4 on Dell Inspiron 8600

Got some time to install the RC4 on a Dell Inspiron 8600 and it most of it seems to work out the box; except the proper widescreen where SNAP over-sized desktop on lower resolution. Running gaoption lcdusebios off did the trick to set up proper widescreen 1680x1050.

Regarding the genmac wrapper driver both the BroadCom NIC and the Intel wifi was found and setup to use the Genmac wrapper; but didn't really work so need to do some more config. But, I have one question regarding the Genmac Wrapper for BroadCom; how is the performance compared with the native OS2 driver?

Another thing that I noticed is that the system once a while halts on the EVFS VFSD driver; no errors or nothing is viewed and this usually results in that I have to reboot the system. Anyone have any idea how to solve this?
