Naturally, there doesn't seem to be kernel support for it just some
vague linux folder on the mini cd-rom that came with it and barely what
can be considered documentation in english with some source code.

Kernel: 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686.PAE

Anyone have some experience with this device.
It's been a long time since 2.4 kernel when I did this a lot.
I'm going to need almost step by step instructions if someone has the
time.

Thanks,
