Excellent.  Does the hack you needed involve copying the MAC address from 
one place to another?  I'm pretty sure I had to do that, and also had to 
hack the method used to find the correct microcide image.  I think the 
latter change is no longer necessary since if_npe.c 1.6.

No worries, I probably should have said how easy it was to get it at least 
partially booting.  I seem to remember the AVILA kernel config is pretty 
much usable on the NSLU2 without modification.

I'll try to get that RTC code to you some point this week or next, it's on 
a system that I don't have access to right now.

Gavin.
