Have anyone used this in linux?

It seems to have some good qualities. It says that it comes with drivers
for linux, but i'm afraid that it might be a precompiled kernel module?
And then the card is useless to me. I don't even know what chip is used,
since I can't find that on the webpage:

It uses the "sundance" driver, and it should work fine in 2.4 after you
apply some fixes from me :)

I don't know exactly, but i think the chip is a via-rhine.
