Note that I don't believe that this is a factor for two reasons: 1. The fact that NWAM can't handle a fixed configuration over a datalink that doesn't support link up/down reporting is a bug in NWAM, and not architecture (IMO). We should communicate this to the NWAM team if they're not already planning a "fix". 2. I'm not aware of any plan to make NWAM the default. More work needs to be done on NWAM in order to make it a supportable default (I would argue that handling this "bug" would be part of that work). -Seb
