Maybe you're Ultra 2 just doesn't like you :) My U2 has been using kernel 2.6.6 |
| 25 |
for atleast a month since I did the initial install and I haven't had a problem. |
| 26 |
Currently, its uptime is 11 days (since the last time the power went out here). |
| 27 |
Although, it isn't doing much. The U2 is only acting as the router for my cable |
| 28 |
internet connection. |
