That id was added by 82078234d402 ("USB: serial: ch341: New VID/PID for CH341 USB-serial") in 2008, which claims that the driver supports both old and new devices. > Additionally, the message has changed to > > ########################################################### > usb 2-2: device not accepting address 8, error -71 > ########################################################### This still looks like a hardware issue to me.
