Hi Martin, The instructions are great! Thank you for helping the community.
Debian on the Qnap works so good I'm using the device as a full blown home server. The only thing I'm missing is decent Java support. But I guess that will come when cacao is stable enough. I have done some tests with cacao from the sid repository, but it crashes from time to time without any obvious reason. I just installed your kernel with the intel DMA patches. It increased the samba transfer speed from ~4.7mbyte/sec to ~6.5 mbyte/sec. Any chance these patches will be part of the mainstream kernel? I read in one of your posts earlier that marvell was working on improving the LAN driver for the orion SoC. Do you have any information on how that's going? Also, what kind of performance increase can we expect? Thanks again!
