Was browsing the VIA site and noticed that they still have a link to their Linux portal. Imagine my surprise when I found out that they still are updating their binary blobs. A Ubuntu 10.10 driver dated 1. April (the date does make me a bit suspicious) has support for the CN896 and VXxxx chipsets. This is an excerpt from the release note:
