Both. The kernel sources for O2 live in cvs.foobazco.org. Also, there are LOTS
of problems. You will need some extra ethernet adapter, for example, since MACE
ethernet is not suported. (I am working on it at the moment, but don't hold your breath).
NICs that are knownw to work: some tulip-based.
NICs that are known not to work: 3c905B-TX...

Also, things only work uncached.

As you now understand, O2+Linux is kernel-hacker only toy at the moment.
