HP's ACO contracted my employer at the time (Lineo) to provide an ethernet capable bootloader using a PCMCIA network card. I was the person picked to do it. The Linux port was done in Lineo's Taiwan office. However, I'd never seen the case. I didn't know that it got that far along before the project was cancelled. I've got a box packed away somewhere with the development prototype boards and other paraphernalia. I ought to sell it. Pauli |
