In the meantime, a very similar set of changes for current sid/trunk also works for the mv78xx0 boards (see attached). The diff from the orion5x config is even smaller: e102122-lin:~/debian/marvell/debian-sid/config/armel$ diff -u config.orion5x config.mv78xx0 | wc -l 68 -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com Mature Sporty Personal More Innovation More Adult A Man in Dandism Powered Midship Specialty
