There is no v4l or rtl support for the Meteor, but there is a rather
mature driver for it.  It is available from
ftp://ftp.rwii.com/pub/linux/system/Meteor/

There is an active (low volume but active) email list.  To subscribe
send email to meteor-users-request@rwii.com.  Put the word subscribe in
the subject line.

There is interest but to my knowledge no actual work being done to get
a v4l API for the driver.

Cheers!
Ty
