Someone will have to port Intel's IXP425 access library before this can |
|
be made to work. If that someone is you, the source code is available |
|
online here: |

Look under "Tools & Software", then select "Intel(R) IPXX400 Software" |
|
to downlod the documentation. If you aren't registered, select |
|
"Register/Login" first. Documentation is available in the |
|
"Technical Documents" section. |

|
The easiest option will be to download the non-crypto version of the |
|
Access Library. The crypto-enabled version requires a lot more form |
|
filling. The Slug's IXP420 has no crypto capabilities anyway. |
