[Novalug] Experience with Powerline Ethernet?

[Joel Fouse]

I tried using a consumer-level DLink set here at home, going from one
room to the one right above it, and the light that was supposed to stay
solid on when the connection was established was in reality very blinky,
and DHCP never was able to pull an address through it.  That's about all
I bothered to try.  Think I might just end up drilling a hole in the
floor instead. :P
