I'm not sure. You will need to look at the doc for your machine. Anyway, I believe it is a standard controller in a package with an ethernet controller, so it's a matter of picking the right driver and telling it where the I/O, base, and DMA for the controller live. I believe the ethernet portion of the thing is supported as well -- same conditions on the thing being seen by a driver.
