Hi their. Seeing that the firmware portions are binary only, what's the easiest way to get the board up and running under 2.6.26? I'm of course familiar with kernel compilations, so doing so wouldn't be a problem at all. Wish they would of course made the firmware open source, but untill this happens )we hope?) guess I have no choice.
