Yes, I've got one of these in my Dell Inspiron 9300 at the moment. Fortunately for us, a driver has been developed and has been submitted for inclusion in the kernel. It's currently in -mm and should make it into 2.6.16 or 2.6.17. Personally, I'd love to see it included as a patch into the kernel, but I know Dave's perspective on it and respect that position. I also know that occasionally Dave makes exceptions to the rule, so while I hoped that this might be one of them, I'm also not going to start holding my breath.
