I'd like to make the sheevaplug port available soon.
We've hit a bug in the latest 5c or 5l and I'd like
to wait for that to be fixed first. The initial port
was not done on a stock kernel, and adapting it to a
stock kernel produced a less reliable port (probably
my fault). I think I've just fixed the cause of the
unreliability but need to test it.

The current port only drives the gigabit ethernet
inteface and serial console, and will be more useful
once USB and access to flash memory are working.

I've ordered a sample, so I'm right behind your efforts. My head
hurts if I try to imagine all the differennt ways in which this could
be useful.

What day is it? Ah yes, Thursday, November 5, 2009. My SheevaPlug
finally arrived.

Just a little late for the IWP9 plug fest.
