I'd rather not include patches for targets we don't even build. Hard enough to keep track of patches for the boards we do build. If they're building from source, they ought to be able to build from mainline or at least apply individual patches... It would be ideal to get more boards enabled by default instead, and have people testing the packages we're shipping... then debian-installer integration would be possible. > Technically the ethernet fix and the A23 fix are independent. Ok, I'll proably only include the ethernet fixes then. Thanks for following up. live well, vagrant
