It will likely be very useful, martin would particularly like CardBus and PCMCIA hardware, though he's kind of overwhelmed by requests right now.
If you can find some way to get the chipset identifier (maybe check dmesg, usbdevs/pcidevs if your operating system provides such a command), that's the useful information that he needs.
