I've been working with Kent Borg to bring up linux on the mgt5100.
As Peter said, they're running it on an icecube, while I have a glacier
system.  The serial driver seems reasonably solid.  I've been working
on an ethernet driver and started testing it today.  It has sent and
received a few packets but lots of cleanup remains.  I plan to put up a
bk repository on source.mvista.com in a couple of weeks.  I could send
you a tarball if you'd rather not wait.
