I have spoken with them, they are having the same problem as I am.  
I'm just trying to see if I can help out (and maybe get my tuners  
working a bit faster). They do plan to include the drivers eventually.

As with all such projects they have limited development resources,  
but they have been very cooperative and helpful. As I said, I have  
been impressed by how much of the system *does* work, I am enjoying  
features that I previously could only read about on this list (mostly  
from complaints about problems with them) :-))
