Ok, however...

Sorry - I should have been clearer - the instability I was mentioning
was pre-F9 upgrade. I haven't been running a F9 XS with AAs long
enough... until yesterday it was reinstall/reboot/lather/rinse/repeat.

Right. It's not that simple however. Before switch to the versions you
recommend I want to have the complete picture *including known bugs*.
Can you help me with that? (That's what my earlier "with my release
manager hat on..." hint was all about :-) ).

In short, I need an overview of what works and what doesn't with F9
stock kernel and 22.p18. So far:

 - Deepak mentions issues w/multicast
 - There are odd bugs with WPA

what else? Michails my best guess is that you'd be the owner for a
"current issues" list like that. Is that correct? What known bugs do I
buy into when I follow Ricardo's advise?

cheers,
