Well I was also surprised how well that dongle works with that board in
OHCI mode. I saw quite consistent ~4-5 Mbit/second rates when doing Speedtest
from my smartphone. So IMHO it's completely usable. Especially on that kind of
HW which has main CPU running at just 100MHz.

So is there something we may do with all that?
