Making it Work

Is it supported under Linux? Are there experimental drivers? Does it partially work or identify as another card? (if yes, add this information below)

Firmware

Is there any firmware specific information for this device? if so, list it here. If your device doesn't require a firmware, simply mention that this is the case.

Drivers

Provide the details of where the drivers and patches and necessary tools are available.

Sample Kernel Output

Provide the relevant portion of dmesg here. For example:

# dmesg
