Basically the LEAF Kernel for Raspi used to be derived from the Rasbian 
source. The firmware has to be recompiled but that is not LEAF specific. 
When I look at the build process it is just a question to redo our 
kernel configuration files. So it should be mostly the same. Still I am 
wondering why we need to have the eth1 hardware compiled into the kernel.
