Last I knew (when last I ran Linux on a NuBus-based PowerMac), SWIM2 was
still not supported in any way, shape or form - there was no driver for
it at all, and no one even pretended to know how to talk to it or
anything. Unless that's changed, Linux won't see or talk to a SWIM2 at
all. If you have a box with one, I'm sure there would be some happy
folks if you could figure out how to talk to it.
