As far as I know, Christian Gmeiner is the only one who has worked on
them recently.  I haven't tested that stuff, but his hg repository is at
http://hg.assembla.com/em8300-cgmeiner/

The attached patch [1] over driver 0.18.0 is enough to make them build
and work for me with kernel 2.6.35.10; I haven't tested with later versions.

[1] Backport of http://hg.assembla.com/em8300-cgmeiner/changeset/720/

Please use the following patch for kernel 2.6.{36,37} (in attachment).
Christian's repository hasn't been changed for a 3 months and you cannot
compile modules for a newer kernels. I maintain em8300-hg and
em8300-utils-hg packages for archlinux.

YUP,

thanks for the patch... I will update my hg repository. Maybe its also
a good time to tell everybody about my other
repositroy loacted at github - [0].
The goal of this repository is to get the driver finally into
mainline. There is lot work left, but I started to push the first
patch into mainline - it got included into 2.6.38-rc2 [1]. The next
patch I will send to media list will be the bt865 subdevice
driver. So... its a long way until the whole driver will be in
mainline, but I am working hard to get it done.
