I believe that one should never need to do this procedure. The most
common reason why the NSLU2 is not reachable after installing Debian
is that all of the network settings were not configured properly
through the Linksys web interface, before installing Debian. From the
FAQ [1]:
<quote>
After flashing the installer, I cannot ssh or ping the NSLU2.
Quoting from Martin Michlmayr's installation instructions (with some
additional formatting),
"Regardless of which image you intend to use, you should configure
your network settings (IP address, DNS, hostname) using the web
interface before flashing the debian-installer image in case you do
not want to use DHCP. Debian's installer will use those settings to
bring up the network.
"Please note that if you use a static IP configuration, you have to
specify all information, including netmask, gateway and DNS. If you
don't specify all information, debian-installer will not be able to
bring up the network and there's currently no way to tell the user
that an error has occurred. An incomplete network configuration has so
far been the most common reasons for problems with these images, so
please make sure you have filled in all values."
