Well, honestly, the last working version I had was late feb/early-march, at which point i lost my connectivity. Then I had a cmos battery go bad without the settings being written, this caused an IRQ conflict which I only resolved a few days ago. They say "shit happens", well, I had a whole manure truck dump on me over the past few months, and I'm only now getting my shit together. All I can say is that it worked late-feb/early-march.
