Greeting-

This is a follow up to my previous private message about how your
driver is working on my BeagleBone.

As you can see I am logged in on pts/0 since 2:05PM.  I was never able
to keep an ssh connection alive more than 30-40 min with the driver
that is in head.  I think you should check it into head now so people
setting up new BBs get the benefit.

As discussed off list there is still room for improvement, but I think
that can be better handled if this much more stable driver goes into
the tree sooner rather than later.  It will allow for more testing and
feedback to assist with the next round of improvements.

This thing is running so well now that I am about to put a web server
on the box and give it a static IP address.

Once we have USB I think the BB will become my primary mail and web
server......Think of the power I will save!
