I have one.  It appears to work OK both under 3.4 (de driver) and under
-current (dc driver).  I haven't yet run any serious performance
benchmarks however.

The only snag I ran into was a BIOS problem - on one of my motherboards
the BIOS only configured port mappings for 3 out of the 4 ports (this was
a PC-Chips motherboard with onboard shared-memory video and other nasty
features).  With the card installed in a higher quality machine, all 4
ports worked fine.
