OVERCLOCKING A LINKSYS NSLU2

[Roo] seems to believe we’ve been neglecting the NSLU2 or “slug”. It’s true we have spent a great deal of time fawning over the Linksys WRT54G instead. The slug is absolutely deserving of interest though. It is a little network appliance with two USB ports that you are meant to connect disk drives to for basic network storage. add a bit custom-made firmware as well as you’re complimentary to utilize the USB ports for whatever you want.

The XScale processor in the slug comes underclocked from the factory. complying with the directions on the NSLU2-Linux wiki you can pop one resistor off of the circuit card to bring back the full 266Mhz. Benchmarks, temperature, as well as power usage after the modification are covered.
