I guess they'll do it, but they are kind of busy with new kernel. 

Here is Bogdan's post:
"I can confirm you that with 2.6.21-rc7-43 the usb works on Athlon64
(in my installation I have to manually turn on ACPI). However, I have
to compile the kernel with iptables compiled directly into the kernel,
in order to have Internet access."

You are now back to 32 bit, so you are not interested in compiling the kernel.
