Kernel installed on it's internal flash, it rebooted, it's got IPv6.

(start of another era ;-)

$ uptime
 22:22:08 up 4 days, 23:31,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05

$ ifconfig eth3
eth3      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:40:63:e9:42:d7
          inet addr:195.10.230.13  Bcast:195.10.230.15  Mask:255.255.255.248
          inet6 addr: fe80::240:63ff:fee9:42d7/64 Scope:Link

          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
etc.
