I saw that 'FAILED' scroll by on boot, and thought I had a problem.  I 
have a NETGEAR RP614 v3 router after my dsl modem.  But everything 
works.  I can connect.  But I continued to get that router detection 
failure message.  I tried disabling rdisc and the 'FAILED' message went 
away, and everything still works.  So, for now, I'll leave it disabled 
until I discover what, if any, problem disabling it might cause.
