[En-Nut-Discussion] Group to port to AVR32 UC3.

[Rocendo Bracamontes del toro]

It is interesting how political and external factors determine how
technology moves along.  I think there is some potential for Ethernut and
UC3.

I'm keen to collaborate in the AVR32 port, if somebody else would like to
participate, please speak up.

Thanks
Rocendo
