Atom 330 or D525 or D510?

I have a question for a user that has the D525MW board and also some instructions to follow.
There is a green led on board that is lit when computer is on standby power according to the manual, however it is still lit even after I shut down my computer.
Only if I plug out the power cord will it turn off, but still when it's shut down it's not on standby. So I'm wondering if it is functioning properly and would like you to check it on yours by following the instructions below:

Can you follow these simple instructions and tell me how it is for you?
1. Turn on your computer
2. Shut it completely down
3. Leave it shut down for at least 1 minute
4. Open the case and look at the motherboard

Do you have a green light working in there?

So it's lit on the board even when your computer is shut down?
Is that with the power cord plugged in?
If you plug the power cord out obviously the led that is on the board will turn off right?

So that relay you have gives you're computer power?
When you shut the computer down, the relay also goes to the "Off" position thus giving no power so no lights?

So if you want to turn the machine on, you have to flip a separate switch first in order to give it power?

I do want to know what exactly that relay is for? And why you would want to use it to completely power things down instead of the normal way where things would be plugged in?

So you have to manually switch it on?

Makes sense.

Well my PC setup is ready, I don't really want to disable hyperthreading or dual core just to get the extra performance in Windows XP for running applications such as AutoCAD. So I don't want to mess with slowing it down.

I'm using a belt driven system so I will probably get decent speeds per pulse ratio although the resolution will be a bit worse, I do not need ultimate accuracy because 0.004" tolerance is good enough for me, well at least for now.

I guess my machine will keep up without causing lost steps due to slower latencies that are higher values.


Anyway, aside from that I have a WG111T netgear wireless usb adapter and the driver was installed in Windows XP. While wireless works on Windows, I do not know how to get it set-up in Linux since it does not have a driver for Linux.
Is it possible with this adapter? How?

Also I redrew my CNC electronics enclosure drawing, and I hope it works. It is attached to this post in a zip file with a 2D and 3D version in 2004 DXF file format. I also have the DWG files which I can upload upon request.
Can you guys guide me how to convert it to G-Code WITH proper offset of bit size so that it cuts not right on the line, but outside the line by offsetting to make up for the bit size.

This thread is starting to ramble somewhat, might be best if you post any queries that do not directly relate to Atom MBs into new posts under the appropriate heading.
Otherwise no one else will easily find the answer if they have the same question.

In the meanwhile, entering 'WG111T ubuntu' into google returned this
