I just committed the code to make 2348 boards usable. But there are some caveats. 1. The npe (wired ethernet) support requires Intel firmware that we cannot distribute (yet); you must obtain it from the Intel web site if you don't otherwise have it (e.g. in a Gateworks Linux distribution). 2. The compact flash ide support needs a change to sys/dev/ata/ata-all.c; roll back that file to rev 1.274. 3. If you want to use ath cards in the minipci slots you'll need to use a newer hal than what is in CVS. I believe the tarball at http://www.freebsd.org/~sam/ath_hal-20060909.tgz will work but am not sure. I'm working on getting a known-good version together. This stuff has mostly been tested booting with an NFS-mounted root filesystem. I've placed instructions on how I do this at: http://www.freebsd.org/~sam/README-gateworks I believe most of the important stuff is working. The main thing missing is read/write to flash. We're also not fully setup for booting from compact flash (because redboot does not grok ufs filesystems) but that's not a big deal as there are several ways to deal with this. There's still a lot of room for improvement. It'd be nice if someone could add the PMC support to help in doing performance tuning. Sam
