I've tested it using WinNT and the AVM test programs say it is fine (I hope that test means anything but OK). If there is someone out there who is *serious* in wanting to write a driver for it I'm willing to donate it to the FreeBSD project for that cause. So, the condition is to write a driver for i4b for it. It's not intended to end in somebodys Linux box.. ;-) And you'd have to source a cable for it yourself as I don't have one.
