Thanks for posting this!  I was able to retrieve this image and get it
installed on my ERL without any issues.

In booting this up, I see the warning:

warning: no time-of-day clock registered, system time will not be set 
accurately

I don't see anything in the kernel config file for a realtime clock
or time-of-day chip on these boards.  Does anybody know anything about
what TOD/RTC these boards have on them.  I've got a secondhand report
that the clock on these keeps very good time when running the UBNT
supplied linux system.

Looking at the '/var/log/dmesg' from one of these running the linux
system, I didn't see anything related to a RTC/TOD clock, but I might
have just missed it in my quick scan of the devices.

Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks.
