There is a key combination to activate it, all i know is that a nice
blue led turns on when i "activate" it.

I don't think it's a USB device, i did a check to verify, and unless i
need rebooting (due to some weird stuff) it's not working.

Ie i can't find any deviation or unexplained device in lspci or
usb/devices.

I see now that i forgot to mention that i think it might be some special
bus type, or require something to actually show up. I'll contact dell...

I'm currently running 2.6.0-test9 on that machine. Btw, The mac
addresses works just like eth cards right? you can identify the maker by
it?
