If everyone on NANOG were to send a boycott email ("Our company, Acme
Internet Carrier of Oshkosh, will no longer be using Dlink equipment due
to yada yada yada") and send it to the Investor Relations email addresses
listed at:

Then Dlink would have to sit up and notice and fix the problem (especially
once the quarterly sales numbers shows an unexplained 10% sales dip
starting in May 2006).

And best of all - no lawyers needed.  Boycotting someone or something is
legal.
