thanks for the clarification!! I won't ever understand
why these industry guys modify the hardware and mantain
the same model name for their products :~(

their source code is a good start but it's far of complete,
unfortunately. I mean, the pieces are there, but a lot

it is ADMTEK ADM5106, which is a SoC of conexant CX84200 (ARM7TDI)
(the ARM7 part was the reason I asked to you at first place)

there is a pic of the board at

but ready to go). is it "wriggler compatible" too?
