I last looked at it probably nearly a year ago, before other things took 
over.  I had it booting up, but failing to recognise the IXP network 
interface.  I spent quite a bit of time working on this and was able to 
get to the point where the MAC address and PHY were correctly recognised, 
but it still wouldn't pass packetd.

The kernel would also panic when it tried to initialise USB.  My NSLU2 was 
cheap on ebay because the USB ports apparently didn't work on it so I 
never spent any time investigating this, especially given the OS that 
usually ships on it was constantly complaining about USB port issues too.

I think I had a driver written for the RTC too, which I can probably dig 
out if you want it.
