The units should work pretty much out of the box, since there's nothing terribly unusual about them (once one has figured out which network driver to use) - but of course, I can't say before I've tried it. I wouldn't be too hopeful about the watchdog though. According to the AMD docs, the CS5536 "companion device" contains a "watchdog timer", but it doesn't look like a driver for kernel 2.4 is available at this time. I've found a relatively recent kernel patch for 2.6 at http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg253179.html but of course, that doesn't help for kernel 2.4. I'll let you know when I've received the boards and played with them for a bit.
