Hi there,

I made some progress getting up to date code from Buffalo today, after I
called them, in getting a link to the older source and information about
the forthcoming new release. Apparently they are having a meeting on
January 6 to try to push forward a new release soon thereafter.

Quite amusing as the bulk of the diff seems to be
a) XFS merge (came in from SGI as the original tree seems to
   be cloned from the linux-mips tree).
b) Someone seems to have gone right through the 2.4.5 tree
   deleting every comment with FIXME/XXX in it, along with
   anything #if'd out.

Indeed thanks for uploading that Dave.

...and not much else. So in essence we have a port for which there is an
incomplete kernel made available (oooh shock horror if only this were
true a little bit less often) and no useful information given away about
how they actually build the thing. I await their update.

I reckon it is only a matter of a bit of the festivities and some
whiskey before I get a screwdriver and have a play with mine[0].

[0] Hopefully they have a JTAG header or something that I can talk to
but I doubt it.
