Hmm, I've been eagerly waiting for the q2e23 so that I could continue
with the Fedora work. There is now new firmware listed on

	http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Firmware

but it is

	q2f01 - 2008-12-11 OLPC Firmware q2f01 First release of refactored EC code 

Do you know if it is equivalent to that expected q2e23 and safe to
use?
