That does indeed now work. I have tried everything I can to cause
problems for the download, and only found one - if I break the
connections (easily done on the Reefnet interface unit), the download
stops, and need to restart Subsurface before I can download. This is
exactly as it always was, so I doubt there's anything to be really
worried about. (As an aside for anyone else using a Sensus unit, I
would suggest keeping a short loop of shock-cord handy, and using that
to secure the unit to the base.)

I can understanding hunting for pugins, but why on Earth should it go
looking in /boot?!? Sounds like some of the [REDACTED] that the devs at
my last place of work would do!
Hopefully my new job will give me a bit more time for testing (you
don't want to see my attempts at code), and diving (if the weather ever
improves.)
