Well I got my NGW100 last night. :D

If you dont know what it is, its basically a tiny board which runs Linux.
It features two network ports, SD slot, serial pot and a slave USB port and its designed to be a simple yet powerful Network GateWay (NGW).

Unfortunately its already borked. :(
I was upgrading the ram chip on it from 32mb to 64mb and a drop of solder hit the Flash chip.
That chip just happens to have 0.5mm leads which is extremely tricky to solder correctly.

Fortunately I got a 0.8mm soldering iron tip today so tomorrow morning I should be able to recover it.

Pictures will come when its working. :P
