I downloaded the .deb files from Martin's repository and installed them
that way. On my 2100, uname gives the following output:
Linux debian 2.6.26-2-iop32x #1 Sat Jun 26 17:51:30 UTC 2010 armv5tel

For comparison, I get a consistent 8MiB/sec writing to my N2100 via samba
over a wired interface, from my mac. The limiting factor seems to be the
samba server, since smbd consumes around 90% of CPU time.
Running the same benchmarks, I get lower throughput. I'm using a pair of
Seagate 2TB disks:
/dev/md2:
Timing cached reads: 338 MB in 2.01 seconds = 168.37 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 34 MB in 3.05 seconds = 11.15 MB/sec
$ dd count=1k bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=test.img
