Well I was hoping to not have to crack open this router (for a change) 
I'll dig around more to see what I can find.

I am. Thats because new flent throws an exception on my laptop when I 
try to plot. My laptio is a hybird Ubuntu LTS 12.04.5. Hybrid in that I 
have lots of backports on it.

Traceback (most recent call last):

I've been meaning to file a bug, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Thanks.  I'll keep that in mind for future tests.
