Thanks, Clark. I was using TS's 2.6.290-ts kernel source, but I'll try
the mainline 2.6.29 kernel with Matthieu's patchset to see if that works
any better. My main fear in using non-TS stuff is that I will need
drivers for the PC/104 bus to use COM ports on that for the TS-GSM1 and
drivers for the TS-ETH2 as well. Hopefully, those will be in there.
