Re: First priorities?

So I currently have three project I want to use these boards for.  They 
are, in no particular order, time server, DNS server, DHCP/BOOTP 
server.  Here are things I intended to work on related to the modem, 
once again in no particular order.

*serial console interface -- finish duplicating the Actiontec 
daughtercard functionality.
*USB root hub -- this way we can have stuff like USB flash disks
*general I/O board -- do we have enough IO to make an expansion bus?
*New bootloader -- maybe ARMboot will work?  http://armboot.sourceforge.net/
*bulid a complete "recovery" image that can be flashed in to memory -- 
this would remover the TFTP load step from recovery of a board
*figure out how to store stuff in flash -- I think we have the code for 
this in the Actiontec code release

I'm sure I'll come up with other stuff over time, but that's my list for 
right now.
