Problem with the ad driver is a big issue ..I for one did an upgrade on one system...No problems till reboot , would not detect the ad0 device Stable is not the word for 4.0...Someone jump the gun on this one.. Also multiport option .. I tryed on another system same as my 3.4 stable ...Which worked fine on 3.4..I looked and found no issues with multiport option...
