There is already. It is not in v2.0, however, so you have to go
get it and install it yourself at the moment.

It may appear in v2.0.x yet if there is a demand for it, as Linus
mentioned a desire to keep v2.0 alive once developers move to v2.1.
(meaning adding new solid/working drivers from v2.1 back into 2.0)

I have to update that for v2.0 now that it is out. Just finished
updating the BootPompt-Howto, and that is next on the list (ugh).

I've heard mention of Danpex (DEC21040) based cards going for $70 US.
