This is a Bubba | Two headless, power pc box.
CPU: 333MHz PowerPC
RAM: 256MB DDR2
Network: 2x Gigabit Ethernet ports, 802.11a/b/g WiFi
Ports: 2x USB2.0,  2x eSATA

Mine Bubba 2 is the older version, that has not the two WiFi antennae on
the back.

I'm trying to set my USB ZyXEL NWD2205 WiFi adapter as an Access Point
here.
