I'll try them out later this afternoon when I get back from classes. I've finished installing all my systems, but I'll use the disks on the box with Netgear, open up a shell and manually configure. It's just the module, so me doing it outside the installation system shouldn't be a problem... right? BTW, there were a few installation "issues" (if a long delay where you don't really know what's going on is an issue) I had. Should I post those up as wishlist bugs?
