I have a Gateway ROG450 with the Ricoh R5C552 rev 02 chipset. I have been unable to get the Saffire to work with this laptop. For a few moments the other day it did work, then the filesystem crashed forcing a re-install. I installed 64studio. Upgraded to sid. Compiled the FFADO. This worked the first time, but is not working this time. As a side note, this laptop overheats using the 2.6.21 Multi-Media kernel. I have to use cpufreq to slow it down from 1.5 to 1.2Ghz or less to keep it running.
