wow. thats good to know.

how difficult(or easy) is it to see inferno running in it? i play with vita
nuova's inferno. i would like to try it if you or someone can tell me (or
hint me):
  - the contents of kernel config files
  - how to burn kernel image
  - whether any special changes need to be made

i know it takes time to take and respond to these questions but it saves
lot of time for someone who is new to the platform. generally, i have found
that i struggle till I build the first image and see it running. after that
it seems to be easy.

yes, the first thing i would want to do is turn off 802.11.

this one apart, have you come across any other hardware that runs
inferno/plan9 that is small, low-powered and has minimum hardware (cpu,
mem, say, ethernet)? may be better cpu power, little more memory than
linksys wrt54g? i liked PS2 but again it is a bit bulky.
