Hi. Its too bad that the bns/blt don't tell you the firmware versions they are running. The ui is the same, however what about the firmware? What distro are you using of Linux? Bc I know that some versions of RH (don't know if its 7.2) default to a graphical login. If you disable this in .profile you should be fine.

And in terms of the audapter, does it stop talking in the same place? microsoft dialogue This company has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
