Hi there, I hope all is well. I wanted to let you know that something odd keeps happening now with the updated packages you sent me. After about one week of use, the USB card stopped working. I thought maybe I had run some software update and overwrite your files. So, I ran the command you gave me ("sudo dpkg -i *.deb") and restored the packages you sent. After another week, the same thing happened again - this time I am positive that I did not run any software updates and yet the USB card once again stopped working. I again ran "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" and restored your files and rebooted. It started working same as normal. So, I decided to write to you and let you know this. I have no idea why it's happening, but two times cannot be a fluke.
