36 Wow, creepy. I forced a warm reboot of my home wireless router and the problem
37 went away. I now see the gray triangle with the ! and I have no idea how long
38 ago that started. I probably just didn't notice it until this router screw-up
39 happened. And I don't even want to think about why my home router suddenly
40 changed behavior :(
