They tend to leave some proprietary bits out of the gpl releases. The least I can do is ask around and see when the bsp was last updated and if so what changes they made. I remember reading a guy got dd-wrt to boot on rtl8196, perhaps that thread may help you in some way.
I can also donate hardware to other serious devs that want to help andrew in supporting rtl8196.
