    OK, I'm perfectly fine with that, of course, actually nice to hear that
    the issue already is addressed.

    Likely I'll give some rc an shot on this machine (maybe over christmas),
    but it is an production machine (acutally testing other devices is the
    "product" produced on this machine), so unfortunately I'm not that free
    in when and what I can do (but the possibility to, for example, bridge
    the trunk interface would make testing easier, that justifies
    something...).

    Thank you all very much for your work.
