Thanks Johan, that's why I looked at the cross references for ftdi_sio.c
over on
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c,
latest version it's showing is 3.14.  It appears that the ftdi_sio code
is largely the same as in 2.6.32, particularly in the
ftdi_set_max_packet_size() function.
Lots of things have changed since v2.6.32 and not just in the driver
itself but in all the infrastructure it relies on.

I'm trying to verify if the "number of endpoints is 0" is a valid
situation.
No, that is not normal, but it should not crash the driver if it's a
hardware issue. What is the lsusb -v output of your device (make sure
the ftdi_sio driver isn't loaded when connecting the device).

And what happens if you plug it into a machine running a recent kernel?

Thanks,
Johan
Thanks Johan;  sorry for top posting.
An even more ancient kernel (2.6.18) has v1.4.3 of the ftdi_sio.c and I do not see this problem. In v1.4.3, ftdi_sio_attach() is doing the work that is now in ftdi_sio_port_probe(), but 1.4.3 does not have the ftdi_set_max_packet_size() code. The device works fine under 2.6.18. I have to see if I can scrounge up
a machine running a later kernel (other than my desktop).
Should have included this earlier but its unmodified CentOs 6.0 and 6.4, kernel is:

lsusb -v cut for the device in question.
