I'm confused. I agree that I have sometimes found Greg to be a
bit annoying, but it seems to me that he's asking a perfectly
legitimate question -- if things worked fine in the past (including
the firmware versions at the time), and they don't work now, then why
is a firmware update needed?
I would ask:
What changed so that things broke, and why can't we go back
to the way things worked before?
Please, this is a serious question. I'm not running 5.x yet on
my in-house server/laptop, but I hope to soon (once I get some more
servers in the house on which I can be more conservative), and a
Lucent WaveLAN gold is definitely one of the things I plan on
sticking in there to play with.
I really want this to work, and I don't understand how we got to
the situation we're in today. Can you explain things to me, perhaps
in a somewhat simpler fashion, so that I might understand, and maybe
even help?
