thanks for the suggestion!  i may not have a chance till the weekend,
but i'll try applying the diff and see how it goes.

yes, my net5501 is running off a hard disk.  i'm using munin to graph
the voltage sensors and nothing jumps out at me (though i don't know
that it would).  if you could provide your specs that'd be great.

it looks like my power supply is an SBU40C-120; the info sticker says
"12V 3.34A 40W max".  from what i can tell that looks like the highest
ampere psu that soekris has available online.  i don't have a great feel
for amps/watts/volts, but i believe it should power this setup (board
says 6W; hd, 1.7 W; wifi 350mA =~ 4W (?)).  if the current one does look
like it should be sufficient i could order a replacement or (if there's
a suggested model) try picking up a different one.

thanks again...
