Thanks, I have found numerous active hobbyists using the
IXP4-based NSLU2 NAS machine for various things - mostly
non-network related as it happens, so it'll be with us for a
while I think.
IXP42x are most probably "end of life" in the commercial sense, but the
newer IXP46x/455 and even newer IXP43x are still being sold. For
example, Gateworks have a couple of IXP43x boards ("Cambria") which
I personally find interesting, for some specific applications.
I was really talking about the IXP465 with its PTP function. The Intel
devel board had a silicon bug making the PTP function useless. But
even if the bug got fixed, still the PTP function was very limiting.

I never got any feedback about the IXP465 PTP stuff, and so I doubt
whether anyone is really using the Linux PTP driver on the IXP465, but
you never know.

Thanks,
Richard
