So, what is the issue with the drivers, does anyone know? Is it because the 
manufacturers haven't issued specs or another, more fundamental, issue?

I am almost tempted to think about looking at the USB code to see if it is 
worth attempting to hack the driver up. I have written Linux drivers before, 
but not USB and I have read that USB code is very complex.

Anybody care to comment?
