Hi Alan, Please see my comments inserted above. We don't want to put anyone to extra effort here which is why I suggested we wait until your, Alan Stearn's and anyone else who happens to be making changes to the usbserial.c drivers is all done. I suppose the danger is that 2.6.30 might get released before we can fix the broken logic leaving sierra.c in a bit of a mess. Sorry for all the bother on this.
