Okay, that's the prefered way, all Linux users shall think!

I'm afraid, the problem on my side is not only the lack of spare time.
It's more the lack of knowledge :-(
My spare time is also my rare time.

Did you mentioned to give a full path to --image ?
upslug2 --target="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" --image="/home/joao/NSLU2_V23R63.bin"
I don't know upsulg from Linux, so I't only *guessed*.
I always used the hard-to-find Windows tool
"SercommFirmwareUpdater_Upgrade_207_XP.zip" or "Upgrade_207_XP.exe"- at
least this are the names it has recently on my hard disk.

I prefered to use a crossover cable and temporarily manually assigned IP
addresses an the PC. In times one can't find the crossover cable (lent
to brother or classmate? Or dropped behind the bookshelf?), such
adaptors are handy:

Bought mine at Pearl.de, but it's common Chinese scrap, so it should be
easy to get one. (Sorry to any Chinese people! Ranting about your low
budget electric products is a genetic defect on my side. I can't
withstand this).

HTH,
