Thanks, but I don't really think this is what I want... Ntop appears to

I get pretty low from non-ssd disk and I think I might have the kernel

Hi Soren,
The GPIO and LED controls on the net6501 is located in fixed IO
space, accesses using the FPGA over the LPC bus:
Red Error LED: I/O port 069C bit 0, 0=off, 1=on.
Green Ready LED: I/O port 069D bit 0, 0=off, 1=on.

Hi all,
I have a feeling that the serial console, the only way to configure a Soekris,
is very 1970s. Admittedly it is quite reliable, but slow, fiddly, most modern
computers don't even have a serial port any more, and I've found USB-to-serial
converters quite unreliable, with dropped
