<![CDATA[Turn off all extra services for embedded]]>I'm having some cpu usage problems with the system using up the cpu when i'm transferring at high speeds, 8mbit + on WAN -> wireless on a soekris platform. It has 128mb ram and 266mhz processor. Any tips to disable the RRD or any other unnecessary services to allow the system not freeze when 100% cpu is used by system and interrupts would be good!

I'm just looking for a little platform that will push 16mbits to the wireless card. No FW rules or anything. What do you think?

Enable polling on the Advanced page and the system will stay responsive, though throughput will drop.

If you need to push full speed 802.11g and have a fast (> 5 Mb) WAN connection on top of that, you need faster hardware. I'd suggest leaving the 4801 as your WAN router and putting the wireless on something else.
