as a wag, i would start by tweaking ether1116.c (sic) to leave the second port alone. remember that one disadvantage of socs is that there isn't a lot of discoverability. you just need to know what hardware you're running on. and touching stuff that's not there is often fatal. so, for instance,

[9fans] could this work?

Again, great point. An evaluation board built around S3C2440 I experimented with worked surprisingly well at 50+ degrees Celsius ambient temperature, no ventilation, running straight for over two months until somebody turned it off. And it wasn't even near industrial grade. Linux support for tha
