This is an old revision of the document!
This page is relevant for Network Space (Max) v2 and Internet Space v2 boards.
Since mid-2011 lacie change the hardware configuration of the network space v2 to a lower one, see LaCie Network Space Lite v2.
An unreliable configuration is available here
The boards are almost fully supported mainline. For more informations, see our U-Boot for Kirkwood page.
These are the default environment variables in the stock U-Boot provided by Lacie:

The boards are almost fully supported mainline. For more informations, see our Linux for Kirkwood page. It is also possible to install Debian, look here.
Normally, after applying power, you have to push the button to turn on the ns2. If you want it to switch on automatically, you have to switch a bit in the i2c eeprom. The bit is at offset 14 in the eeprom, changing it from 0 to 1 will enable auto switch on. For more details see eeprom_organization
