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.
