I don't know much about it either, seems to be something to do with
Nortel? Anyway, I've seen this AOS crop up in a few places; the last time
was on HP c-class blade enclosure ethernet switches rebadged from from
Blade Network Technologies, GbE2c and so on. I don't know the history
behind the rancid module for such.
I'm sure the project will be happy to incorporate any modifications you
make. The current one is clearly very basic!
