And my name was there ;) . Look at proof:

This is just how to which works for me (tested on ubuntu 10.04). I’m not responsible for you break PCs ;) . Be careful!

Assumptions:

installed ncurses-devel

1. download latest kernel (www.kernel.org) and untar to /usr/src

2. make oldnoconfig (create config but new options will no (N) by default)

3. make menuconfig (select ft1000 driver in staging/drivers like M – module)

4. make (take some time ;) )

5. make install (must be root)

6. make modules_install (must be root)

7. mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.37-rc5 2.6.37-rc5 (numbers depend on kernel version)

8. update /boot/grub/grub.cfg (for grup2) or /boot/grub/menu.lst (for grub) (create new entry for new kernel and initrd)
example for grub2: here
10. cp drivers/staging/ft1000/ft1000-usb/ft3000.img /lib/firmware/ (must be root)
11. make headers_install (optional)
Thats all. Reboot and enjoy your new kernel with ft1000 driver. Just plug your device and enjoy ;) . Tested on 2.6.37-rc5. If not sure just wait till 2.6.37 will be released if you don’t want use non stable kernel.

A lot of work was done. There is some previous what was and what should be done.

Till code merging in usb driver was done 63 commits. Mainly:

1. fix coding style (get rid of typedefs, remove compilation warnings, correct error return values)

2. changes in FW loading (using of standard kernel mechanism for loading FW)

3. when you plug device to usb you will have new created node in /dev/net/ft1000-0 and so on

4. lot of problems with freeing allocated resources

Main focus now it to speed up little bit development to possibly get this driver to mainline till 2.6.38-39.
Contributor are welcome ;) .
