I mostly just use LAN when I need to download a lot of stuff at home, because WIFI is much slower even at 54 Mb/s, especially since my home network is 1 Gbps. So I could just turn WIFI off in those cases, that would be an acceptable situation. However, I want to understand all of this as fully as possible. So, yes, I would appreciate your profiles - but please take your time digging them out :) Cheers, Bennett -- GPG fingerprint: 871F 1047 7DB3 DDED 5FC4 47B2 26C7 E577 EF96 7808
