I'm using my net5501 as a router. And as i said, WLAN crashes
the machine. So i'm using it in a way that is not expected???

Those parts were bought from soekris directly. So i assume they have
been tested with the net5501, as they have been sold as accessories
for the net5501.

Err... I'm not sure i understand you correctly...
But, if you really have a full lightning strike on your alix/soekris
box and have the case melting... then the molten metal is the least
of your problems as anyone near the box will be already dead.
Beside, that the iron sheet of the soekris box will melt as well.

No, this is actually a job for the architect and electrician. They have
to ensure that no lightning strike can enter the building w/o passing
trough some absorbers. Any strike that you get trough the power cable,
telephone or network sokets is still high enough to fry your electronics
and give you a severe shock. But it shouldn't be able to kill you.
Much less to melt any metal case.

I dont see any reason why aluminium cases should not be used in
"professional" enviroments. I'd rather say that you mix up something.
