Mountain Lion Compatibility
Is there any early word on Mountain Lion compatibility for the ReadyNAS models?

ak72: have you tried the latest firmware?
More troubling behavior I've encountered. I don't know if this is Mountain Lion related or not. When connected via wired ethernet, I see the the Duo in the Finder Sidebar (three entries: hostname, hostname (AFP), and hostname (CIFS)). If I turn on WiFi and disconnect the wired ethernet, these three entries remain and are accessible. Turn WiFi off, and they go away (expected behavior), turn WiFi back on and they don't come back--even after several minutes. Plug in the wired ethernet and they immediately appear. Unplug the wire (WiFi still on, NAS entries in Sidebar) and try to run a Time Machine backup, it fails (error 19) and the hostname (AFP) entry disappears while the other two remain. If I try to mount the CIFS entry, it too disappears.
I probably would not have happened upon this except for tinkering with location services, Find My Mac, and FileVault. I normally use a wired connection with WiFi off. I thought it might be useful to have the WiFi on during vacations as it could help were Find My Mac needed in the event of a theft.
