Steve,



I have the same issue.  Everything works fine until I try to access the
NSLU2 over wifi, then it locks up.  I was wondering what version of the
firmware for the NSLU2 you are using (you can check by logging on to
the web interface for it) and what format the drive you are using is
(NTFS, FAT32 of EXT3)?



THanks



Andy
