Where's the source for the "pcan" driver?  I see the pcan_usb driver
in the tree, but that looks like something different from what you're
looking at here.

Does the device work under any version of Linux?  If so, please
collect the complete dmesg log from the newest working version, and
the same log from the broken version.

Does this adapter work in some systems but not others?  Under Windows
but not under Linux?  You refer to the "good old" driver, so I infer
that it works *somewhere* and I'm trying to figure out what's
different about the case where it doesn't work.

The derivation is based on ACPI _PRT tables.  Regrettably, we don't
dump the _PRT contents in dmesg, so we'd need an acpidump to look
further into that.
