I have two wbd111 boards, but their bootloader is fubared - for whatever reason the bootloader's ethernet support works horribly for me, as in an image transfer takes well over 10 mins, and 90% of the time it fails meantime. I have another gemini based board, which doesn't have mainline support, yet. So for gemini, what I can offer is digging up the wbd111 and testing your patches this weekend - if that works, it can stay in mainline for another kernel release, and I can try to add support for the other board (so there would be a sane platform to test on). If you are going to drop it, I will likely keep it working in OpenWrt as long as those boards don't die on me. Imre
