I been looking forward to playing with this baby since I learn it runs Linux with all sort of cool hacks. Imaging, a linux box less then US$100, that has 802.11G and 4 port switch on board.

But I spend the whole night trying to get this box to talk to my Airport Extreme without success. I tried turning it into a client, I tried making it part of Airport WDS but no success. (I did managed to get Airport to give a DHCP response tho but no ping :P)
