Rui,
	Im running a net4520 at 100mhz and 64mb memory.  my system runs 1.2b7 
pretty well honestly.

cpu is normally at about 5-7% depending on if there is an incoming pptp 
connection or ipsec tunnel being established.

memory runs at 51% consistently.


I would definetely try to reinstall.  Something doesnt sound right with 
what you got.  I've installed quite a few 4521's with 1.2b7 now, my 
office, home, buddy's house. All work well so far *Shrug*.
g'luck once again, hope you can get to the bottom of it.

PS: there is a bios upgrade from soekris for the net4521. Definetely 
install it.
