The main issue is the Metrowerks CodeWarrior tools we are using. Metrowerks 
does not yet support Linux 2.6 on the PowerQUICC part and they are not 
committing to support it any time soon. We have already invested time and 
effort backporting other necessary drivers to work with 2.4. The USB I/F is 
pretty much the final piece of the puzzle that needs to be dropped in. We will 
also need to somehow fit some type of USB support into U Boot as we would like 
the option of booting code from the USB port.
