Isn't that just the nature of open source though?  He will probably be
back when he finds the time or needs his router to do something
different.  All I really wanted mine to do was stop spamming stp
messages.  ;)

Ok, I turned it back down.  =p

Cool, bookmark added!

Actually the reason I upgraded the firmware on the router in the first
place was to see if it would then be willing to talk to my scm2835w
802.11g wireless card which I have been trying to get working with
fedora core 2 for a couple days now.  Turns out there is a problem with
my card: it stops working after it gets hot.  If I let it cool for five
minutes at room temperature it works for about 1 minute.  If I let it
cool for five minutes in the freezer it works for about 2.5 minutes. 
Not good either way!  I wasted so much time messing with the
configuration when it was a hardware problem the whole time.  Grr.
