ahz, what do you need the wl500g for? if you need cheap, simple, light and low power consumption computer, why not give the Linksys NSLU2 a try. Have a look at www.nslu2-linux.org. It only has one LAN port, has 2 USB2.0 ports... It might be a better tool.

I know it might be considered bad to direct you away from this forum, sorry folks
