My question is: whats the latest news on this driver? Is it still usable? I tried to build it and use it on 6.3 (both binary and build from src) but everytime I attach the usb device then kernel crashes and reboots. I'm looking through the src now to see whats up, but I'm very green on this so an update would probably be useful at this point, plus if someone can direct me to some further driver writing info (read the arch handbook) and stuff.
