I can see someone reading this thread and tossing two crappy Ethernet cards in a box and then complaining it doesn't work well. 

It would be more than welcome indeed..! I have the feeling that HAST
isn't that much used (but maybe I am wrong) and it's difficult to find

India during recovery? Anything that will help current and future folks stumbling across this thread I think would be a big help in getting this good idea used a little more widely.
