yes, i hope they move to networkmanager. the version of software they are 
using predates that a bit, however. ASUS is already working on a software 
update for a future version, however.

pfft. this is not the intended use of the device and as you can see the person 
clearly was adding other repo's. should it be more robust? sure. does this 
particularly matter given the use case for this device? not really.

this is all a bit "sure the suit is great, but there's a hole in the sock"

that mentality is one of the things free software people attempting marketing 
really must get over. i know it's something that has dogged the engineering 
mentality for decades, but perhaps that's why we let other people do the 
marketing after all ;)
