as soon as I realized Kirkwood boot is integrated into u-boot, I should
have searched for a kw client... o.O
Well, didn't...

Well. I am sorry, I wasn't planning integration into u-boot source tree.
- it's pascal (I don't know c/cpp very well)
- it uses a rather fat opensource communication library (synapse, 1.5 MB
of pascal source)
Since I am done with recovering my NAS, I won't continue work on this.
Any idea where to anyway provide the source?
I could upload it where I wrote the guide on upgrading my Netgear NAS.
http://netgear.nas-central.org/wiki/ReadyNasDUO-200_customisation_guide
But... xmodem boot solves only far less problems than the custom
emergency boot holding the backup button. So for the Netgear NAS it's
useless. But maybe it's of use if I put it into a more general section
on http://www.nas-central.org/
