EtherWeather is now supported.
Jacob, I'm going to add the GPL v2 license to your file, since it is
required. Remove the file if this is not acceptable.

Checking it in directly would probably be easiest; my SourceForge
username is jacobdp. I'll let you know when I have more information
written up. How about "--etherweather" for the command line option?

It started out as a school-related project, then grew into a
hobby/for-fun thing, and now I'm polishing it off to be able to sell.
The main components are an AVR microcontroller and Ethernet chip; I
wrote all the interface and application code (using the uIP TCP/IP
stack). I'm planning to keep the firmware closed, but the
communication protocols and support code will all be open.
The system listens on a TCP socket and acts as a low-level bus master
(reset/bit/byte, strong pullup, and search acceleration), so it should
be able to talk to any device supported by the code talking to it.
Besides waiting for connections from PC-side software such as OWFS, it
can also periodically connect to a remote system over the Internet to
receive commands, and I've written some code to handle that as well.
At the moment, I've built a few prototypes and am waiting for the next
round of components and boards to come in. The majority of the
software (firmware w/DHCP, bootloader, OWFS patch, and service
daemon/Web interface) is working, although not polished off yet. The
board is 2" x 3", runs off of 7-9v DC, and should cost around $50
(assembled/programmed, but without case and power supply).
