Chances are you could get it running without too much effort, it'll be
similar to Dreamplug and the other Kirkwood-based systems we support.
There are nagging reports of serious problems with Kirkwood systems,
especially when using USB, and nobody seems have the combo of time and
skills to track down the cause.  (I would mostly likely be that
somebody, but time is my problem; I have to concentrate on ixm6 stuff
for $work).
