If you have multiple host adapters, you really need to use the command line to say which is which, as always. If you don't, you will be bitten eventually. "Eventually" in this case meant 2.2->2.4, perhaps, but that doesn't make it an item for Documentation/Changes. Or is this not what you were talking about?
