Just got my AVR32 NGW100 board and fired it up. The thing that's very interesting about this board is that:
1) It's $69
2) It's running an embedded Linux with BusyBox
3) It's a two-port ethernet board
4) 32 bit RISC processor

It's really an incredible value...for learning if nothing else. Here are some pictures of it.

The box it came in:

These next few shots show the AVR32 NGW100 next to a Gumstix BT to give you a size comparison:





When I first brought the board up I used my Mac with ZTerm and serial settings of:
115200 N81

The ethernet interface closest to the serial port is labeled "LAN" and in the linux embedded image is 'eth1'. It's set to come up as a static IP of 10.0.0.1. The top port is 'eth0' and is set to come as a DHCP client.

When I nmap'd the device from my Mac, this is what it showed as services running/open by default.



You can ssh into the system if you know it's DHCP address. If you are monitoring the device console with a serial terminal, it's easy to get. I tested ssh to the device and it worked great:



Once in, if you take a look at the disk layout you get:



An initial ps shows these processes running:


If you want to start changing the network interface configuration of the device, edit /etc/network/interfaces - you will clearly see they have one port statically wired to 10.0.01 and one is DHCP.

Oddly, though the httpd server is running as shown by the ps command, I could not telnet localhost 80, nor could I telnet to 192.16.5.170 (the DHCP address) at port 80 either. I could however hit port 80 from my Mac though I got the HTTPD forbidden erro back. At least it did connect on port 80, just not locally...not sure why that is unless it's a routing issue on the local device...haven't had a chance to dig into it.

Anyway, that's a quick spin after a startup of the device to give you a taste.
