Subject: [OpenWrt-Devel] support for Lacie devices (e.g. edmini_v2)

Hi everybody,

is there any plan or ongoing activity to support (and to what extent)
LaCie NAS devices?
I'm talking about the family of Ethernet-aware hard drives based on
Marvell Orion/Feroceon chipsets, namely:
d2 Network, Ethernet Disk Mini v2, 2big, 5big, Ethernet Big Disk.

I noticed the trunk already supports the Orion architecture for dt2,
wnr854t and wrt350nv2.

In fact, with some (very) trivial changes I''ve been able to run
Openwrt with a 2.6.30.10 kernel and most of the hardware working
(drive, ethernet, usb) on my EDminiV2 with minimal effort!
After all, I believe the support for the Orion has been included into
the mainstream kernel for a long time now, and most of the above
devices are even included with their own machine type definition!

What seems to be still unsupported is the button+LED, and the fan control.
I noticed Lacie released the source code for pretty much all the
software (including the driver and high level software for the above
components!).
There's also the USB slave device, but I'd rather pass on that.

If no one else is already doing it (or has already done it), and if
there are no licensing/distribution restrictions, I'd be glad to
contribute on this.
This integration seems just too far into advanced development, I find
it hard to believe no one else feels the urge to make those further
steps towards a fully working system.
Perhaps there are known problems I am not aware of?

Thank you!
Gerlando
