The native card has enough functionality for what I need, but what I'm

Don't have any experience with those cards, but I can say how to
install a linux rpm:

- ensure you have archivers/rpm2cpio installed (it is already
  installed if you have installed any linux_base port);

I installed linux_base-fc4.

- copy dist.rpm to any empty directory and run a command:
  $ rpm2cpio < dist.rpm | cpio -id
- brandelf all binary files (not libraries!):
  $ brandelf -t Linux binary_file;
- as root do:
  # find * -type d -exec mkdir "/compat/linux/{}"
  # find * ! -type d | cpio -pm -R root:wheel /compat/linux
  If any non-standard directories for linux libraries are created then run
  # /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig -r /compat/linux


Thanks.  I'll try this out and see what happens.

If everything goes well, you may add a pkg-plist and submit a new
port. ;-)

Sure.  Why not?
