This or some other Marvell Orion based NAS was bought up here before.
It boils down to the fact Marvell's kernel is fork from official Linus's
kernel. Someone needs to get Marvell's/D-Links drivers into mainline
kernel. Most probably requires rewriting drivers using the Marvell/Dlink
code as documentation. Once there is a good, upto-date kernel to work
on, we can use it to create a debian-installer.
Meanwhile, I would recommend getting a Thecus N2100:

It is supported with Debian etch installer and the vendor has been
very helpfull.
