 Please disregard my frantic e-mails about the USB-Ethernet problem. It

 LAN side, since it has much lower throughput than a USB 2.0

Interested to hear what you find to be a workable solution as
secondary nic for something like an mswind.

I wonder if the wlan device it has can be configured with hostap to
act as the AP.

cheers,

will let you know. These mini-desktop PC's are in IMHO the best option
for the XS in terms of performance to cost ratio, power consumption, and
extensibility. There are other super-low power PC's, but they tend to be
3x more expensive and you usually can't easily add a bigger Hard drive
or more RAM later according to needs.
