[Commotion-dev] Utilite $100 ARM-based computer

[Ben West]

This product is being advertised as a beefier version of the Raspberry Pi.
Forwarding along since some list members had discussed merits of running
Commotion, Serval, et al, on more powerful hardware.  The inclusion of 2
genuine gigabit Ethernet ports is interesting, as opposed to an Ethernet
PHY that still hangs off an internal USB interface.

The wifi chipset is a Maxwell 88MW8787, which used the kernel driver
mwifiex_sdio.  Not much information seems to be available about that
module, other than that it is not a softMAC driver like ar71xx.  (So,
closed source I suspect.)
