Really, the answer is for someone to compile the open source version of

provide it in our repos assuming the licensing permits.
Unfortunately, the USB passthrough isn't available in the "Open Source
Edition" or OSE.
Do you know if it uses uname or sysinfo() call to find out the OS
version? /bin/uname can be replaced by a simple shell script
or one could create a new sysinfo() in a library and LD_PRELOAD
that instead. I think returning snv147 (which is what you really
are) should be OK in this case. I think there was also a 3rd
party kernel driver that allowed to do similar things (except
I can't remember the name right now). That would take care of
both uname and sysinfo().
