I hear ya.  A lot of people I know don't care what the OS is as long as 
they can do their work.  If the HW manufacturers would jump in here and 
give Linux some more support I think there would be more widespread use 
of it.  I certainly understand why you would go back to the Redmond OS.  
I guess I was just luckier with my HW.

Did you post a bug report or look to see if one had been posted for your 
network HW?

Best,
Alex
