[LAU] Motu AVB devices/Firmware update issues/better DONT update to 1.2.9

[Anders Hellquist]

Thanks for the heads up.

I have not noticed this since I have not needed a lot of channels but I
don't like unnecessary limitations. Ultralite AVBs

Do you know if this is registered as a formal feature request or do we have
to accept MOTUs way of changing things?

Best regards, Anders
