Regarding newer kernels, my bad. I kind of lost track, since I gave up on them. :-)

Hi,

mainly for OE I've started GitHub kernel repository, with 2.6.34.y[1] and
2.6.36.y[2] branches. I haven't tested 2.6.36 much yet, but it at least boot
:-) and my USB WiFi is working as is LCD on DIO (tested using lcd-linux). It's
all based on Matthieu's patchset, I've added just some patches, like GPIO keys
example, lcd-linux driver for hd44780 LCD on DIO port and reset using CPLD
instead of buggy ep93xx. I've also patch for lcd-proc if anyone is interested,
but should be in OE soon.

What I'm puzzled at 2.6.36 is this DMA patch[3,4], Matthieu or anyone else could
you please shed some light on it? I don't completly undrestand why it's all
happening and I don't know much DMA/memory subsytem yet to figure it myself.

Well, the prices are fine with me, but would love some EU distributor, I hate
to pay those crazy shipping costs :P For the price you get relatively good and
stable HW and mainly availability, this is big plus for me and would pay extra
for it.

Nice, thanks :-)
