I don't know, but the driver is included (as a loadable module) in the
Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) release -- I checked 2.6.28-11 for x86_64 but it
should be the same on all Jaunty on all archs.  You should be able to
boot from a Ubuntu 9.04 CD, "sudo modprobe inexio", install inputattach
and run it (I don't know what command line args it'll want though).
