There are linux drivers. I wonder if there is a way = to get the specs from the linux developers. I'm going to put in a call to = both Supermicro and Marvell and see if I can round up: Supermicro: a demo board Marvell: specs, references, and code samples Anything else you'll need to get this rolling?
