I have the hammerfall dsp cardbus interface and a multiface. I use it in a 
dell inspiron 4150 laptop running debian unstable and it works well. It was 
much easier to set up than I expected, it took about the same time to install 
as it did in windows as I already had alsa installed with all the modules 
compiled so it was just a matter of editing a few files. I have been 
recording drums and guitar using ardour and the quality seems good, but I 
haven't compared it to anything else yet. One thing it does need though is a 
better mixer as I think at the moment you can only control the volume of the 
outputs in alsamixer or at least very few controls. I think someone is 
working on a clone of RME's totalmix which should make the card more 
appealing.
