Zeeb r15:7 I'm running on my AlderLake WiFi on a first gen Lenovo T16. It's running fine with the updated code. I've only been running it for about 3.5 hours, but everything has been fine. sets up at 5G. Download still seems to have a hard limit of 40M while other devices get 100M, but that is better than hte 20M I once saw, (Ths change had no impact on that. It jumped to 40M a while back.) -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 [-- Attachment #2 --] <div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">On Wed, Feb 25, 2026 at 4:14 PM Bjoern A.
