I'm looking at installing Debian on one of these:

http://www.megabuy.com.au/seagate-stbf500300-goflex-satellite-500gb-mobile-wireless-portable-hard-drive-p10274465.html

It has built in wireless capability (and battery) with the 500GB disk.

A serious limitation of the unit is that it creates it's "own" WiFi
network and doesn't participate in an existing WiFi network.... that's
what I really want to fix.

The firmware download includes a uImage file as follows:

# file uImage
uImage: u-boot legacy uImage, Linux-2.6.32, Linux/ARM, OS Kernel Image
(Not compressed), 2313388 bytes, Tue Dec 20 21:36:47 2011, Load Address:
0x80008000, Entry Point: 0x80008000, Header CRC: 0x01B18018, Data CRC:
0x0AA8AC17

So, I'm hoping that it will be possible to make this unit much more
useful as a very portable Debian box.

Cheers
