I know many powerpc boards are supported in the kernel, so if you look in that space I'm sure you'll find something. I don't think you'll find a vendor that maintains their entire range of boards very long into the future, but once it's in the kernel it's much less likely to break, and if it does easier to fix. johannes --=-0NnYVjKohyg7wLUw+AZR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJJeIiZAAoJEKVg1VMiehFY1ScQAL2GFG0j75aUFc0XPDV9/GhP oMjJFCauXiXfP5eoLx71H2IVWaOBucnnjC2oaKtk0BrGPNK/o9X8ApkM9uz5jpjG tFa9cdquaOSmhV6mzKmG197rvCXEFctlsSRaqQG20psPU0sc/wKT3yLn93z86utk PL+7axZFFbYqBS3kg6aCpfXuDtbK1purZzkcYEtXr5FDn96sGumqJb9nFyFcfr83 ZSb672vu63ULKH6Tm73QOdMR1G+9T0l9Oxfw4l6fIF7wzuDyf9caTIGkvcqBFdhh 2TjOdtZk2NELIbIOtLv4MwVIrP5EI6fRmYxyaf1s+K7k254oFs5pA13KJq5AVli/ TRe66/e/9W+B7c2+dlpl6IAjtt+9pRoFBQUrEfw4S4DXdW57jRvly6lya5Ols997 Y1CXdzZwW93cKaDFyjaFXIb0PPyABcdV8y1F2WcxKVxQP51ie2NfZGztnqwmbAib VaV+GvlbdtSF6mQ4mnlJBwFThdmbOVN56zuIwdPUDRcHc70h6VyBP/t5ys1yct4m NiW+CMkXLmzR6h59TK9ANLQIcv4fgFoSOms2kn+DkPG0H5P2+nxKpAmpoAAojJdi rd7kIH/A0e+tcpgv0JwyJQsKBzjoG+bkrVF0Njr1h8zKN1/lfl7k2rT+CelRg+jH GcuktyGyxGiPDJtjl3vr =5hFk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-0NnYVjKohyg7wLUw+AZR--
