Dewey G. tested it today and had positive results.  I don't know how
in-depth his testing was, but it seems like the attached board was
recognized and communication was successful.

Instructions for testing are here:
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Uspace

I have been testing with Debian Wheezy and the linux-image-3.2.0-rt
kernel image (Ubuntu does not seem to package a -rt kernel any longer).

So the steps are:
1. Install a system based on Debian Wheezy (use debian.org's installer)
   -- 32 bit or 64 bit linux both work, though there could be as-yet
   unknown 64-bit bugs in hal_ppmc.
2. Install the linux-image-3.2.0-rt-i686-pae or
   linux-image-3.2.0-4-rt-amd64 (depending whether you used a 32-bit or
   64-bit version of Debian) and reboot to use it
3. Set up to build linuxcnc as normal, except that you configure with
        ./configure --enable-realtime=uspace
   and there's a new requirement for libudev-dev.
4. make && sudo make setuid
5. now rip-environment, halrun, linuxcnc should all operate as normal.
