Once the TS-7800 is shipping Technologic Systems will add support for 
the 2.6 kernel on all TS-7xxx products.

We have written a 2.6 block driver for the SD card, it still needs to be 
tested further before it is officially released. Although, if anyone is 
interested we could make this driver available before the official 
release...

In order to get the spec for the SD interface Technologic Systems had to 
sign an NDA. Therefor Technologic Systems can't release the low level 
read, write, and reset routines. Although the Linux block driver is 
available...
