Had a good day Friday, after failing to get relevant information from the manufacturer (been requesting for what seems to be a lifetime). Finally manged to get the 2D barcode imager functional under Linux, what a feeling of accomplishment.

All other significant hardware is supported by the 2.6.30 Gentoo Kernel.  However the finger print reader, camera and HSDPA modem have not been tested as they are not required for the application the unit is going to be used for.
