I never got around to finding out why ethernet did not work reliably... And no one from EmbeddedArm or Cirrus Logic was interested in helping me out... Having the ethernet port drop only some packets (but not the ones to make nfs root unusable) made it anoying... Even though I was using the ported NetBSD driver, they simply said: works on NetBSD tough luck... > bitrotted now, but could be resurrected fairly easily.

If you don't need ethernet working, then just updating the drivers to the new io bus shouldn't be hard, and gets most things working.. -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
