Sadly no :(
The impression that I get is that even though the driver code is open
sourced (for Linux), there is enough of the function still proprietary
to prevent Fundamental from making anything useful from it. I keep
asking about it and hope is still alive... :)

the only thing missing is OSA Express L2 support, AFAIK -- which is
really useful to support VSWITCHes.
Can Flex do this either, yet?
I would assume that since there's now an Open Source QDIO Ethernet
driver for Linux, that that gives both the Flex and Herc designers
enough information about how it works to implement an emulation of
the device (whether this would be crippled and miss some of the neat
features, I do not know--if there are things you can do on an OSA-E
that you can't do from Linux, then those might not be in the
driver). I know that Fish looked at it a bit on the Herc side
(although it's not near the top of his queue), and I suspect that the
Flex guys are working on it, but as far as I'm aware, support has not
been announced. If I missed the announcement, then that's great.
(L2/L3 should be relatively easy to code, at least in a Linuxish
environment, because you can use the tap driver for L2 and the tun
driver for L3 on the host side; this is exactly analogous to running
OpenVPN in bridged or routed mode.)
