Ethernec driver for my falcon would really help right about now. I
don't know if I posted this yet, but my attempts to port the EtherNAT
drivers were met with confusion. I'm just not good enough yet to get a
job like this done. I can provide root access to the machine through
serial console if someone else wants to try it. With access they can
make builds or whatever. If it'd be easier, I can also do a 115200
serial ppp connection so you can use ssh, etc.
FWIW, linux is a heck of a lot faster at certain things than mint, no
doubt due partially to the proper fork/threads implementation and proper
MMU/virtual memory.
Thanks,
Mark
