I noticed it's on the embedded want list on the wiki - so that's a start - and it's a nice platform that  could use from a proper OS ( not awful proprietary RouterOS or a linux flavor ). While netbsd has support for it, it's not something I use regularly. Additionally, work/a port on this - it will probably work on the MikroTik RB1100 and RB1100ah ( at least from looking at netbsd/linux code & mailing lists I've looked at ) and possibly a few more MPC8544 based boards - so there is additional merit beyond just this I think.

The boards are located in San Francisco, but i can ship to most places without to much problem ( though anyone local I'll treat to a few pints as well for the endeavor - pre, during and post ).
