      I installed a recent image of 2.0 on a soekris net5501 (Don't have the version with me now or I would mention it) and I have noticed that the web interface seems very slow.  I will click on the WAN interface on the Dashboard and firefox would just sit and say waiting for site.  Is this normal?  I did notice after installing that I had a red error light on my net5501 and I seem to be having difficulty with the WAN port.  The light is dim and I can send traffic through it.  I have disabled the Firewall since I am just testing everything out and wanted to get the basic network down before playing around with all the options.

      I guess I am just asking if anyone is having similar problems with the speed of the webinterface or if it is just because my box is screwy

        Fixed my problem… just went back to factory defaults and started from scratch.  For some reason the first time it came up I never got the Wizard, but after a factory restore it came up and everything started working correctly.  I did get some unusual errors about readonly, since it is a embedded device and a random reboot in the middle of booting up, but it eventually came up and I was able to configure everything.
