Hi Max,

I'm just upgrading my work laptop to 7-STABLE and I hope to test it soon.

I need two labels because Windows clients require slightly different 
configuration than FreeBSD clients.  I think we emailed about my 
difficulties with Windows clients long time ago and only later I managed 
to make them work and I'm not even sure how that happened.

Regards,

M.
