Hi Paul,

Which chips are on this card? That is the first step. If there is linux 
support for the chips, then it should be possible to get it to work, 
otherwise it might be very difficult or impossible.

It would be great if you could make detailed pictures of the card as 
well.

Can you make a listing of all the files and mail me the .inf file as 
well?

Thanks,
