I am wondering if iRex is offering any help with the drivers required (they should, IMO.)

iRex has already released the source code for their drivers, so it should be possible to port them to 2.6. However, I believe there are also proprietary drivers from other companies, and the source code for them is not available. That's where the biggest hurdle is. If I remember correctly, the USB driver and Wifi driver for the iLiad are not available for 2.6. They'd need to go back to the USB/Wifi chip manufacturers and convince them to release the code, or else reverse engineer drivers for that hardware (which is not easy).
It's a good thing to have it on the roadmap and spend some time looking into it, but I think it's going to be very difficult.
