Contact me off-list if you want the latest 2.6 kernel patch. Adding E450 support should be straightforward, and a lot lless work than the current roll-your-own method. I'd just do it, but alas I don't have the hardware, either. I'd consider remote access, but folks are usually not dedicated enough to make this work.
