Must be HEAD as usb shows up on "usbus*".

Verify the MAC/MII addresses and PHY assignments in the hints file.  I 
don't know that anyone tested NLSU after changes I did to support the 
IXP435/Gateworks 2358.

Another thing to check is the NPE firmware; I updated it as part of 
adding 2358 support and there may be some issue (unlikely but ya never 
know).

I recall Warner was the last person to verify NSLU booted so perhaps he 
can try on his device w/ current HEAD.
