first, there are two versions of this box:

- the "dl" (diskless) version which hast many in common with the ZyXEL NSA325(v2)
- the "ix2-200" which comes with two HDDs (Raid 1) which can compared with the iConnect.

First let's have a look at the default U-Boot env:
(perhaps I've messed something up it was late and minicom is sometimes strange)

After looking around in the Stock OS I tried to boot debian with an I think stable Debian Jessie Image with 4.0.0 Kernel:
(sorry for the non existant mount entry and that I've forgot to delete the old 70-persistand-net.rules)

this box has only one ethernet device, but two were recognized

[    0.171110] [Firmware Info]: /ocp@f1000000/ethernet-controller@72000/ethernet0-port@0: local-mac-address is not set
[    0.171235] [Firmware Info]: /ocp@f1000000/ethernet-controller@76000/ethernet1-port@0: local-mac-address is not set

Later I found out that the default ethernet device doesn't work.
it looks similar to the NSA310s/NSA320s issue, but with the right speed and such.
so I brought up the second "eth1" device and it's working fine.

Updated to the latest kernel / DTB with the same result:
Modifying /etc/network/interfaces seems to help:

auto lo eth1
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth1 inet dhcp

the last bootlog:

as you can see, there is something wrong with the nand behaviour and so it's mostly impossible to read the U-Boot env via fw_printenv

[   98.709636] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev mtdblock0, sector 0


later I found out that "pwmcontrol" is working, but it doesn't produce a working settings file for "fancontrol"

Atm, U-Boot env is modified to boot debian only
