As of this kernel, the drive works perfectly under linux, except for the drive buffer detection (Only tested with K3B).
Burns CDs, DVD+Rs, and does so and faster than Windows Nero.
I believe that is also true for DVD-R, but haven't tested because I have no such media.
To get it to work, all you must do is change this:
----- include/linux/libata.h -----
#undef ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI
into
#define ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI
-------------------------------
and recompile the kernel.
