This pcmcia card has a couple of bad raps from windows users.
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.co= m/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 P= PA, to my request for chipset info.
I am searched the kernel 2.6.39.2 (which I got from kernel.org) =C2=A0source for VT6214=C2=A0 and for=C2=A0 VT6421
and did not get any hits.

The card uses the VIA VT6214 chipset for USB and the VIA chipset
for SATA.

Thank you,
