[Avila] Gateworks Avila CF/IDE driver

Hello,

I'm a member of AWMN (http://wind.awmn.net/?session_lang=english), a 
wireless network community
developed in Athens with over 1000 active nodes. The hardware we use 
consists mainly of SBCs
developed by other vendors, such as PCengine's WRAPs and Mikrotik's 
Routerboards.

In our search for more and more powerful SBCs, we found Gatework's Avila 
board serries very promising,
especially the GW2348 model.

So, another member of AWMN bought two pieces and gave me the one to 
adapt it in our needs. Now, I'm
porting AspisOS (http://www.aspisos.org) to that platform. My AspisOS 
build is loaded from a
Compact Flash card and is based on a 2.6.x linux kernel that does not 
support (yet?) the CF/IDE interface.
However, in the original software shipped with the board there is 
support for the CF/IDE through a
"Gateworks Avila IDE/CF driver v1.3b" as mentioned at kernel boot messages.

Where can I find the sources of this driver?
Keep in mind, that I don't have a CD of Gateworks DevKit.
The boards were bought from a dealer without the DevKit.

Thank you in advance,

Petros Moisiadis
