        !            44: Early work targeted the Portwell CAM-0100.
        !            45: <p>
        !            46: Due to the lack of available hardware, the port lay dormant for a few years.
        !            47: This changed in January 2013 with the release of the Ubiquiti Networks
        !            48: EdgeRouter LITE. Several developers obtained these new machines, and work
        !            49: began immediately.

        !            51: Kernel work is progressing nicely.
