NSLU2: Revision 9

In my last visit to 24C3, I also got one of 99 EUR "NSLU2 Slug"<http://www.nslu2-linux.org/> devices.

First flashing didn't end up quite well, since I got blinking green/amber led (even after power cycle). After that, I plugged 4Gb USB stick into port 2, re-flashed unit again, and it booted!

^^ first login

Default password after flasing is: `opeNSLUg`

^ networking

Useful one-liner because I want to allocate default NSLU IP `192.168.1.77` to `eth0` on which it is connected while rest of my network if same class `192.168.1.0/24` but on wifi.

.pre
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.76 pointopoint 192.168.1.77 netmask 255.255.255.254 up
.pre
