It should be possible to find this out from Netgear's GPL sources then, right?

Not of the SquashFS UBI volume, I presume, because those sectors
'never' change. And I think that _if_ a sector goes bad on a read
action, we have a genuine problem and failing CRC actually is a
correct action to take.

As I mentioned on the forums, I'm having some trouble locating a
USB->serial adaptor, so my input remains untested for now,
unfortunately. Barring that, can someone (Gabor, maybe?) comment on
the usual way in which cooperation on a new platform by people without
commit access usually is done? Create a private branch, grant commit
access to all contributors, when done rebase all commits onto latest
commit of trunk, email diff?

Thanks!

Joris
