No Lua? Is there an ETA for it?

near of April's fool, just one day

Some people release info on March 31st to throw people off the track on their April Fools' jokes. I think this might be one of those times...

So much for SSH port forwarding. I tried it and the SSH session died while using it.

*) added support for multiple Intel Ethernet cards;

Is there multiple drivers being added/fixed to support multiple newer cards? Or was there a bug in older RouterOS versions that prevented multiple Intel interfaces in a router but if you only had 1 it would work? I am planning on adding some Intel Ethernet cards to a x86 RouterOS v4 router and need to know.

I have seen mention of some newer Intel Ethernet chips not being supported, someone in the forums asked about the Intel P45 chipset.

turn it on first

I assumed it was on by default when it was working but it died in the middle of a connection. Where do I go in the config to turn it on/off?

it's turned on by default

check in submenu: / ip ssh

It's nothing to do with the Wireless ???
