Absolutely.

That's great news!  Its been fun working with you (well,... you working, me just
providing the good looks :-) ).  All kidding aside, it would be wonderful if you stayed
connected with RTEMS/uMon.

Yep, do whatever cleanup you think you need to do.  I haven't looked at the Ethernet
device interface on this SOC.  If its the typical buffer-descriptor type of interface, then
you may want to refer to one of the other uMon ports for some ideas.  Also, check
with Ben to see if it is already built into the OS.  You may be able to reuse that work.

Jarielle, its been a pleasure working with you.  I'm glad to hear you're planning to continue
after GSOC.
