slow NSLU2 (132 BogoMIPS)

Some of the NSLU2 are just running on 133 MHz instead of 266 MHz as the recent units. You can check yourself at the \"BogoMIPS\" info on system information page.
Good news is that the NSLU2 can be modded quite easily to \"full speed\". Details here.. and as always... you do it at your own risk!

OK,
now I have a 266 as well.
I pulled the R83 with a sharp knife and it all went well until I tried to access it and it didn't respond to my browser requests even thow I heard the beeps about the ip address.
After what seemed to be endless minutes of error checking I ran downstairs to the slug and it was powerless. For some reason it had done an unmanaged shutdown:S
Pushed the button and after booting up again it finally worked to access it and now it says 266 BogoMIPS!:lol:

I just received a slow unit last week from my WMR200A order from ambient.com. Will it be OK on a back level meteohub? It came with v2.0. The upgrade to v2.2d shows the slow processor speed.

My unit just purchased last week from Ambient Weather (bundled with MeteoHub pre-installed) also shows \"Too low clock speed: 132 BogoMIPS\" when I upgraded to 2.2d.
Processor : XScale-IXP42x Family rev 1 (v5b)
BogoMIPS : 132.71
Perhaps Ambient Weather needs to be told that the slower model is not optimal for bundling with MeteoHub?
