Well, unfortunately "unknown" means "unknown". The reason we (or at least t=
he=20
ffado developers) don't know wether it works with ffado is that no one ever=
y=20
tested it and the vendor was either not contacted wether they want the devi=
ce=20
to be supported or they didn't answer and give the needed=20
information/hardware.

If you can, grab your laptop, go to the shop and test it. Be happy if it=20
works, otherwise choose a device that works (to be on the save side check t=
he=20
list at ffado.org for devices listed as "supported"). And bug the=20
manufacturer and the dealer about the phonic device not being supported in=
=20
linux. :-)
