+		<h2>FAQ and troubleshooting</h2>
 		
+		<p>There is a <a href="FAQ.html">FAQ</a> that gets updated to
+		   collect extracts of the various successful email exchanges
+		   about guessnet.</p>
 
-		<h3>What is the difference between guessnet and whereami, intuitively, laptop-net, divine, ...</h3>
-		<p>The main difference is that guessnet only cares about selecting a network profile, and has no functionalities to reconfigure the system.</p>
-		<p>The main purpose of guessnet is integrating with <a href="http://packages.debian.org/ifupdown" ><tt>ifupdown</tt></a>, adding automatic
-		network detection to a Debian system with very minimum changes.<p>
-		
-		
-		<h2>Troubleshooting</h2>
 
-		<h3>Link beat does not work: when guessnet tries to check it, the interface is still down for configuration</h3>
-		<p>This problem is caused by some network drivers going down and needing
-		lots of time to go up again after being configured.</p>
-		<p>Try working around the problem by adding:<br/>
-		<tt>map init-time: 5</tt>
-		(or higher numbers) to the mapping stanza of your interfaces file: that
-		asks guessnet to wait for 5 seconds (instead of the default 3 seconds)
-		after bringing up the interface.</p>
-		<p>If it doesn't work with 5 seconds, try with 10 :)  At some point, it
-		should work, then you try smaller numbers to fit your needs.</p>
