[Angstrom-devel] h3600 kernel (was h1910...)

[flameman mayer]

hi,
http://www.elinux.org/Flameman/ipaq/status should show a bit of progress

the iPAQ is wonderfully able to emerge himself, the kdrive needs more
work to be emerged, nano-X is pretty working, the touchscreen is
pretty ugly working, the sleeve 2xpcmcia is ugly not working at all

a lot of work is required in order to complete the kernel support

anyway, that's the status of art @ 4-3-2009

regards :)
