IETF folks would never do such a thing, would they??

I thought the WTR54G was a nice solution too, especially for $19 at 
Fry's.. until I bought one and it didn't work at all. Spent an hour on 
tech support to India and now it's been sent back to Linksys for 
replacement (nothing yet)..... Never had a problem with my AP Express. 
Should have bought another one for travel, but I guess I was too 
attracted by the cheap price tag of the Linksys. Like they say, you get 
what you pay for (or less)..
