I wish I had good news for you, but unfortunately there has not been any
progress at all regarding Utilite support. However, there have been huge
advancements towards the unified ARM kernel and for the 2.15 release in
general.

I am currently stuck that the version of uboot Compulab provided us with
is malfunctioning so that I can not boot the IPFire kernel. I also got
no response on why my unit won't start uboot from SD card.

As there is currently no spare time so that I cannot look into those
things. So, our plans to support the device with 2.15 are somewhat
frozen by now.

No.

Stevee did and Arne is working to support all the other devices we had
extra kernel for in the past. So this is the new unified kernel.

I guess the hardware is very great for use as a router with IPFire.
Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that IPFire will support it - we don't
support it right now and possibly never will.
