Are you going to document any of the setup details you do to your NSLU2? I'm getting not-so-great performance from an OS X client and am looking for ideas. Care to run a benchmark when you're setup? (see the bottom of the page: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Nfs-utils?from=Unslung.Nfs-utils)</p> I’d be interested in how you set up your NFS exports and client mount options.

Then plug in a usb wifi adapter, and run it in access point mode? Combine with an ethernet switch on the ethernet port, and you should be able to use the nslu2 as your wifi access point / router.</p> Can’t you plug a usb hub into the nslu2?

Not that I do not like OpenWrt distro – I use one of older versions on my wrt54gs but I like to have something which is upgradable in easy way not by reflashing etc.

I know one thing – in next house I will make network more organized and probably I will build something based on VIA Epia or other ITX board instead of NSLU2/WRT54GS.

For me, wl500g serves as wifi router, smb server, daap server.</p> Asus wl500g, wl700g are wireless routers with similar capabilities as NSLU2.
