Do you think those changesets will make it into 2.6.38 at some point? I'm 
asking because this is where the technisat-driver is currently residing on his 
way into the kernel.  I understand that there is a problem in this branch, but 
still I'd like to see the technisat-usb2 being merged.

I'm getting a little bit desperate. :-(

Can I do something to help?

best regards,
