I thought zircom was one of those companies that you have tor pry programming information from their cold, dead fingers? I think there is a packet driver, but I don't know if sources are available or not. If there is a Linux driver, you could port it, but unless you got the licensing changed or unless it was loadable as a module and under LGPL instead of GPL (loading kernel modules satisfies the link requirements), it would be something you'd have to maintain and distribute seperately.
