I'm doing a Cisco course and trust me, it doesn't just cover Cisco stuff although of course their equipment is given a big push every now and then. It's all aspects of computer/network/OS maintenance and repair among other things. Yeah, routers have come up in some depth, too.

Just as a general thing, I think the right term would be compile their own Linux builds, then create an ISO. But more to the point I think it was mentioned more as a reference to the ability level of the techs in question, i.e. more competent than most.

I've heard Q2 2011 mentioned as well, so we're looking at what, start of April at the earliest for Super Hub bridge mode? I don't quite understand what takes a bunch of paid professionals so long to make one or two updated firmwares, especially when the (mostly) free DD-WRT firmware usually has two to five updates quarterly, and we're talking various different versions for a plethora of seperate chipsets most of which work incredibly well with only very minor bugs. Maybe they're not as good as VM thinks? After all it is hard to gauge the competence of a person who's very good at something you only have a passing knowledge of.

It's all idle speculation though...
