Difference between LS1, LS2, HG
If the firmware version is 1.xx then you have a ppc-based-Linkstation (LS1,HG), if it is 2.xx it is an LS2 (mips). all LinkStations except the LS1 have autosensing, so no switch for changing the LAN-Port is there.
TODO: Find a difference between HD-HGLAN (HG) & HS-DGL(HS). I expect differences in the webinterface (pcast & upnp)

From the Why don't you hack the LinkStation/KURO-BOX site
Firmware version
Maintainance -> SystemStatus -> Firmware Version, should list your firmware version.

The powerpc-hdhlan (LS1) LinkStation can also be identified by the presence of a crossover switch located at the rear of the unit; the mipsel-hdhlan (LS2) and powerpc-hdhglan (HG) LinkStations do not have a crossover switch as they are auto-switching. | |
Linkstation Information
AVR
Linkstations contain an Atmel AVR microcontroller (MCU), which is typically controlled by the CPU (SoC) via an LS-internal serial connection. The AVR performs several LS housekeeping funktions:
