Actually the reason we don't have Linux support for the product on notebooks is because of a limitation in the kernel. The current code will not enumerate a Type 1 bridge behind a Type 2 bridge. I have not had the time to find out if the problem is in the PCI or the CardBus section of the kernel. We had/have similar problems with Windows 2000.
If the appropriate people want to discuss getting is working I would be more than happy to supply information.
I have connected a unit up to a desktop running Linux and have been able to get a number of cards working in the expansion chassis. Based on that I think that the Linux support is definatly possible.
