NetBSD on the Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 (NSLU2, AKA "slug") Disk Drives
In his "NetBSD for the Linksys NSLU2 (a.k.a. "Slug")"
README, Steve Woodford writes:
``The NSLU2 (Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives) is a small, cheap
NAS device consisting of an Intel IXP420 (Xscale) CPU, a 10/100mbit Ethernet
port, and two USB 2.0 ports. It has 32MB of SDRAM and 8MB of Flash memory,
and runs RedBoot/Linux out of the box.''
Given that the
NSLU2 devices are
available
fairly cheap at around $80US,
the sound like a sexy addition to the local network.
Now adding a second network device, e.g. via USB, would make it a
sexy alternative for a DSL router.
