FWIW, you don't have to out in the sticks (the backwoods?) to have

However, as I understand it, in this case the TCP checksumming worked

Quick question, should the PC Engines ALIX 2D13 work with 6.4? Or is the
hardware too old?
Or (perhaps more likely :-)) did I screw up the installation process
somehow?
I created an install media (cf card) and boot functions but as the kernel

I use sysupgrade to update to new snapshot versions (of 6.6). Brilliant!
