The code which is in the kernel is around 5 % done, the code which is available on mcentral.de is around 50% done. It still requires some work to get _all_ devices supported, and keeping the development process in an endless loop and depending on people who have no idea and don't care about certain requirements is no option. The upcoming devices which use other chips and which have more features will at least also use those drivers. I expect that it will pump up the driver to support more than 100 devices within the next year.
