	Got one of these here, but the driver for them on 2.4 kernel
series (rtltoo or somesuch) is quite full of bugs. It is worth trying
the Donald Becker original one, I found. Among other things, some apm
stuff doesn't work with the new driver (you can't power your computer
off). Other than that, they work fine :-)
