Thinking about it, MACH_DNSKW_DT would probably be best. Anything more  
general, e.g. MACH_DLINK_DNS_DT, would also cover the orion-based  
DNS-313/323/343. Presumably there will always be differences between  
kirkwood and orion5x?

Did you mean D-Link, or is there some relationship between Buffalo and  
D-link I'm not aware of? I know Conceptronic sold a ~identical device to  
the DNS-323, but not aware of anything else. You never know who truly  
makes the devices nowadays anyway.
