Great idea! Didn't know there was that possibility.

I have one USB-serial adapter here (and it works with linux). Do you know from what kernel onwards the NXP ISP1362 USB controller is supported?

Right now I am trying again to make a working compiled version of the kernel that nalim used (using the toolchain I installed yesterday); once I get that working, the next step is to forward-port the patch.

In regard to the kernel to forward-port it, I am thinking of using the 2.6.26-19lenny1 of Debian (downloadable here, for example), as it has been thoroughly tested in arm.

Update: Compiling nalim's kernel with gcc-3.x needs this patch (source).
