I have done that and it works I'm using a Digiface + Digital Audio CardBus interface (rev 0e) with such an adapter using the standard Linux drivers. It is labelled "ExpressCard/34 CardBus into ExpressCard" on the front and "Conrad Electronic model: EK-108" on the back. lspci reports "PCI bridge: Texas Instruments XIO2000(A)/XIO2200A PCI Express-to-PCI Bridge (rev 03)" with numeric ids (lspci -n) "0604: 104c:8231 (rev 03)". I have also used that adapter successfully with a desktop PC by using a another cheap PCI-E to ExpressCard adapter (this combination is even uglier from a mechanical point of view). Note that I had less luck with using a single PCI-E to CardBus/PCMCIA adapter in that case (the RME interface wasn't recognized). But the results may vary with other mainboards, adapters, and kernels. > - it is very ugly and dangerous as the adapter is big and hangs from the > side of the laptop. Yes, indeed.
