19 I have noticed that people seem to have various issues with .39. Maybe
20 roll back to a older kernel and give it a few versions to get some fixes
21 in. I had X issues, someone else had some network issue and someone
22 else has some other odd issue. I think .39 is currently a lemon.

24 If you can make it with the old .38 version, I would. At least for a
25 little bit anyway.
