The likelihood becomes non-zero if someone volunteers (remember Etherboot
is all volunteer written free software, you get what you pay for). If you
would like some tips on how to write a driver, email me. It's not that
difficult if you understand hardware concepts, but you have to be patient
with your test rig. Also you need access to the chip's programming manual.
