    SysKonnect used to be *very* problematic with 5.X or later. At least
    that was the state of things during the summer and early in September
    when I tried re-enabling the onboard adapter of my workstation at work.

    I have to admit that I haven't tried recent CURRENT versions with the
    same adapter though, so things might have changed since then.
