I need this card for my laptop because I have an external HD enclosure with eSATA port and my laptop lacks USB 2.0 (has USB 1.1). The manufacturer emailed me and claimed the card was tested in kernel 2.6.32 and passed. I am trying to get some info about other users who may have used it in their laptops running any version of linux. The card's web site is: http://ppa-usa.com/computer-products/sata/pcmcia-combo-usb-2-0-and-sata-cardbus.html I think the only way to be sure, is to find out the chipset that the card has. Below is the response from PPA, to my request for chipset info. I am searched the kernel 2.6.39.2 (which I got from kernel.org)  source for VT6214  and for  VT6421 and did not get any hits. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Contact Form Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 12:32:45 -0400 From: inqu...@ppa-usa.com To: JD <jd1...@gmail.com> The card uses the VIA VT6214 chipset for USB and the VIA chipset for SATA. Thank you, PPA Int'l
