(usagi-users 03855) Re: FW: Zaurus for MIP6

Hi,
We are sorry for not replying to you sooner.
I'm Masafumi Aramoto, member of USAGI project.

In current, we don't have any good answer for your question.
Acutually, we were testing of Zaurus on 2.6.x up to a couple of years
ago. But we are not doing now at all.

We are currently working on MIPv6 based on the latest kernel.
For the test, we need a specific kernel patches for Zaurus which enable
working on latest version of linux kernel. (Our current MIPv6 software
release (UMIP0.3) is based on 2.6.21-rc5.) But we don't have them. This
is the reason we don't test for now at all.

So, we can test any models of Zaurus if we get the Zaurus specific
kernel from a community such as OpenZaurus. The models are also depend
on their releases. However, I'm not sure when it comes...

Regards,

//aramoto
