There's a simple hardware mod you can do with a pair of nail clippers that
removes the single resistor that's underclocking it to 133MHz. Then it runs
twice as fast, at a semi-respectable 266. It's still not going to win any
records, but it's more than adequate as a house router.

I have had a bit of a look at the NetBSD version, but to be totally honest,
all the BSDs are so similar that I don't want to look too hard unless it
confuses me. My BSD-fu is certainly not sufficient to port OpenBSD myself.
