I've been using the Fedora 12 arm port on a sheevaplug for a few months now, and its worked out great! Thanks for making the port available.
I'd like to use the plug as a print server with a USB printer, and I noticed that the usblp driver seems to be missing. Was this driver not included because of problems on arm, or should I be fine recompiling? I'm a little hesitant to blindly go build the entire arm toolchain, since I know it can be a little tricky to get working. Are there plans to include this driver in future kernels?
Thanks, Matt

I think usblp is a kernel driver, so it will come with your kernel. The F12 project didn't provide a kernel, so the presence of the usblp driver will depend on which configuration was used to build the specific kernel you're using.
