I have 4.0 running on my i-opener, but I find that I have to hit TAB after power up to clear the initial "nothing but net" screen and get to the BIOS setup screen, otherwise the console never appears. Don't know why, but as long as I start in text mode all is well. Well mostly well, the USB Ethernet performance varies from 38kbyte/second to 300k+ bytes/second, I don't know what that is either.
