I just ran into a snag. I need to have Wifi as an option for network 
connectivity. 

What's the best way to put out a bounty for a 20 carrier boards for the 
EOMA-68 that include the following:

* 1 (or more) RS232 interfaces (optional: RS-485)
* Wifi chipset
* (optional) POE Magjack and Silvertel 5v POE-converter

My timeline is I need something demo-able in about a month. I could do that
with an engineering-sample if the serial port/jtag on the SDcard works, and
usb-host (for a usb-stick wifi) works. To reduce the design risk I'd probably
also say clock the A10 at less than half it's design rated speed.
