From my cursory reading of the Linuxant site, they do provide a file similar to the Nvida drivers that allows a recompile following a kernal upgrade meaning you don't have a repurchase a license each time. Nevertheless a hassle though.

I think Conexant provide drivers for these machines. At version 0.98 they used to be a free download but then Conexant started selling the drivers for $15US under the site Linuxant.

The progam works for free but only at about 15kps until you obtain a license key and then you are up to 56kbs.
I would suggest that buying the drivers isn't a good idea as it locks you into that vendor and stops you upgrading your kernel. e.g. you might be able use DD but not EE or FF or have to wait months and months.
