The SD card slot did work on mine, when i put an sd card in it booted into a version of the Shield which was a really early version, the sd card was blank at the time.
The speed issue, try commiting out the snort rules in sbin/fw_upgrade, this loads snort without any rules to slow it down.

Have you got the link to download your lastest build, and with instruction on how to load and i will have a play.

Which switch postion are you boot the shield in?

I'm running into a performance issue and I'm not sure where it is coming from.  I really wish some of the folks who've dealt with the Shield for longer than the few months I've been playing with it would chime in :p

My throughput drops when going through the Shield by a factor of 10.  If I direct wire to my laptop, I'll pull 90-100MB/s down on Speedtest.  If I put that connection into the Eth0 and hook the Laptop up to Eth2, it drops to 10Mb/s.

I loaded Snort, but none of the configuration aside from the default because I've never used Snort before.  I'm going to remove Snort and see if that makes a difference, otherwise, I'll have to continue looking to see what the issue is.

So, if anyone wants to lend a hand in configuring, I'd be most appreciative.  I'm happy to put another image up and you can "test" configurations out on it, and if you find one that works well, you can send it to me and I'll pre-bake it into the image.  I know the Shield is "old", but if you look at the hardware, it's amazing.  Ubiquiti routers use the same architecture without nearly the amount of storage flash space.  This thing has FOUR Gigs of Flash ram, and even the biggest Itus image (router) was only 50mb.  It has 1GB ram, but I wonder if we could make a Swap partition to help pad that out some (On flash, I dunno).  At the very least, I figured out how to make the damn LED (labelled "M" on the front of the box) work with three colors.  I'm sure we can get the SD Card slot to work as well without too much trouble.
