Warning: If I remember right, the pinout of the GPIO connector on the
net5501 is different from what is described in the net4801 manual.  By
this I mean the following: Power, ground and serial pins are still
where they used to be, and IO pins are where IO pins used to be.  But
the numbering of IO pins has changed.  The easiest way to figure this
out is to put a LED on each IO pin, and then write a little program
that wiggles all of the IO pins one at a time until the LED starts
blinking.  I did this using OpenBSD, where this is trivial, because
it has a command-line tool for this: gpioctl.

By the way, Soren: It would be nice if there were documentation for
the net5501.
