The Netra t1 boardset is very similar (if not identical) to the CompactPCI CP1500 boardset, which contains two userflash devices with 4MB each. I am currently looking into support for the userflash devices on the CP1500, so I assume this would work for Netra as well. In the interim, you might be able to hack the jsflash driver for userflash, but I am investigating support via the MTD subsystem. Aside from the current work on userflash, the CP1500 is fully supported. Unfortunately, SMCC seems to have a 'flavor of the week' approach to OBP device node naming, unlike SME, so I'd bet much of Netra t1 can be supported with a little hand-waving in the current drivers. Once you get the box, please send me (offline) the output from 'prtconf -pv' under Linux to satisfy my curiosities.
