Customers mostly use to compile the em28xx driver from mcentral.de against the currently installed drivers which come with the native kernel, or I use to deliver binaries. Now the DVB config framework makes use of usbfs (similar like libusbfs) in my case and also works on OSX with exactly the same drivers.
