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:

Thanx!
