Hello,
i can say for sure this card is already compatible with linux ppc.
The only thing necessary is have a kernel with the board included as a mod.
The card will starting work after the kernel load in yaboot or grub... (i had been used it on amiga pci machine)
I have a Marvell pcie in My G5 Quad working as the same phylosophy as i described before.
The same is fo all card and device. GPU usb3 and so and so.
Ciao
Gigi Burdo
