"Dear Mr. Sundman,

We do not provide any Linux drivers for this card and neither does the vendor
of the "SIL 0680" Chipset. However, according to our information Linux has
integrated driver support for the "SIL 0680" Chipset.

The Driver for this chipset should be in the kernel source:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD64X and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD680

Officially the card does not support Linux.

Best regards,
Andreas Schlieck

It's amazing what the search feature can do

Google produced a number of hits which suggest that this chipset isn't stable. Also, there are revisions of this chipset which continually keep the same name, so you are the only one who can determine which chipset you actually have. The link above shows one persons success. I believe he is using his setup as a PVR.
