Sure. The Netberg and APS boxes are alive and should get support for
newer versions eventually (I have 9.9.0 working for the Netberg but I
was told that that release of the BSP was not meant to be released
yet). Inventec seems hopeless since they have abandoned all of their
switch products :(  I'll have to figure out how to deal with that
since we have these boxes in the GP4L.
