[nslu2-linux] Re: Help! Fresh install of SlugOS/BE 5.3 - can't ssh in!

I was trying to ssh into my wireless access point!

I blame the terrible interface on my ADSL router.

All up and running nicely now. My next project is to get esniper up and running with a nice web interface accessible over the net...
