It makes no sense to keep the kernel driver uptodate, it would make more sense to support the latest driver (which some people are supporting). I just had a look at the driver downloads it makes around 600 downloads for september for this driver. If someone's interested in those stats I can give access to it privatly. The current option for people who own such a device is to take the driver from mcentral.de.
