I can vouch for this device - I just got one a few days ago.  You do
need to get access to a Windows box in order to download the JTAGICE
firmware into it before the first run, but that is pretty painless.
The hardest part for me was getting access to a Windows machine to do
the update in the first place since all I have around here are FreeBSD
and Mac OS X.

After loading the JTAGICE firmware using AVR Studio, AVaRICE uses the
device just fine.  At least I was able to test out support for the
AT90CAN128 chip using it, which works.  I also tested with an Atmel
JTAGICE and that works fine too, of course.
