The driver should not be trying to look at this, so it's good that it broke now. If you need it to process the data on then hangup then the core code wants fixing to allow this to occur. > 2.

We do multiple megabits quite happily via the tty layer with 3G modems over USB. What is your data rate ? Again it wants dealing with properly.
