[Assuming you're talking about distributing an image which works with
the internal ethernet port ... (i.e. one which you installed using the
debian-installer image from www.slug-firmware.net) ...]
Be very careful about doing this - distributing the Intel IXP ethernet
driver microcode (/usr/lib/firmware/NPE-B*) without the appropriate
click-through licensing (like that found on www.slug-firmware.net) would
be a violation of that license that you agreed to when you downloaded
the nslu2 rc2 image from www.slug-firmware.net ... and you probably
don't want to give Intel's lawyers a reason to come after you ...
