I told our Marvell contact about this this morning, and he immediately
drove over to us to drop off a loan of three SheevaPlugs and a GuruPlug;
we can put them online behind Gig-E on MIT's network and give out access
if it'll help tide things over until your units show up.  (Kudos to
Marvell for the fast loan!)

*nod* That's a shame.

Ah, do you have the diff to look over?

Thanks,
