None at the moment. Its programming interface is very close to that

No clue.

Well, if you are a kernel programmer, you might want to sign
intersil's NDA and get the programming guide. There's a section on
how the USB device is mapped and how it differs from the pccard
mapping. The intersil stuff is on their web site, but I have no URL
at the moment.
