I ported it to the Embedded Planet ep8260 board with FCC3, ep8248 board with FCC1 and FCC2 and ep8280 with FCC2 and FCC3. I had to make very little, if anything, to get it to work. I did not try 2.6.9. I am currently using 2.6.10-rc3 which I believe after the last merge is now 2.6.10. I did practically nothing to get all of these to work.
