Sadly not. At least not outofthebox. I do not know what other
devices using the RTL8366RB is doing apart from this.

I built the platform with this small-ish patch on top because
I needed to extract the zImage:

But I guess I should work on getting some proper flash image support
in place for this device.

I plan to repost my mainline RTL8366RB DSA patches after
some redesign,they are still not working for me, but at least
getting better in all other aspects, except actually providing
networking :(

Yours,
