If I get the time, I'll probably take the required bits for the Motorola PowerPC boards from the code MontaVista released a while back and build something for them myself. By the way, Greg, are you interested in patches against 2.5.45, even with the device unregistration stuff still up in the air? Barring that and waiting to see what Russell and Alan are cooking up for PCI resource reservation, I'm kind of doneish my port to 2.5. Scott -- Scott Murray SOMA Networks, Inc.
