Connected to Radio, Not Roborio

Can you elaborate on that?

Other than the long boot times (~1 minute) for the new radio, after it gets configured we haven't noticed any trouble connecting to the radio. The problem I've been noticing has been between the radio and the roboRIO. (But really it's just the driver station, because we can always ping things).

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...
