PCMCIA eSATA controller and Ubuntu 9.10

[Ray Leventhal]

Hi All,

I've a question about Ubuntu's ability to detect and work with an eSATA 
PCMCIA controller card I'm considering for use.

PNY 2Port eSATA CardBus PCMCIA Adapter (model IO-NSA2-PCM-WB) is the 
card in question.

I know the PNY product will NOT come with Linux drivers and am wondering 
if anyone has had experience with this or can point me in the right 
direction, before making the purchase.

The system is a Dell Inspiron E1705(9400) which is running Jaunty.

Thanks in advance,
-Ray
