That's just my experience with it so far; would like to hear other's experiences with the radio.

Edit: That said, I'm sure the long boot times will make turnaround time between matches fun...

The actual root cause of the DS not connecting to the roboRIO is the mDNS resolution on the new radio not working right. It's still possible to ping, but the mDNS address won't resolve, which causes the DS to not connect. Switching to the old radio makes all those problems go away, and DS to RoboRIO connections become much more reliable. For practice, its just not worth dealing with the issues with the new radio. Hopefully competition doesn't have those issues.
