- *1: the HG and the HS are identical from the hardware point of view
- *2: only early japanese Kurobox HG`s have the 2.4.17 kernel in flash
- *3: depends on the preinstalled firmware. they moved to 2.6.16 with firmware 1.10

What are the more verbose differences between the (LS1, LS2, and HG/HS)?
Difference between LS1, LS2, HG
- You can find the version number by calling “Maintenance/System Status” in the web interface. For systems which do not have gigabit ethernet, 1.x firmware designates a powerpc-hdhlan LinkStation while 2.x firmware designates a mipsel-hdhlan LinkStation. For system which do have gigabit ethernet, 1.x firmware designates a powerpc-hdhglan LinkStation.
- The powerpc-hdhlan LinkStation can also be identified by the presence of a crossover switch located at the rear of the unit; the mipsel-hdhlan and powerpc-hdhglan LinkStations do not have a crossover switch as they are auto-switching.
TODO: Find a difference between HD-HGLAN (HG) & HS-DGL(HS). I expect differences in the webinterface (pcast & upnp)
Firmware version
Maintainance -> SystemStatus -> Firmware Version, should list your firmware version.

LS2 and HG LS1 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.
