Yep, that one was already included The patch does not work properly: When I plug in the USB2serial converter (be it ftdi or pl2302) device node is created properly and minicom can use it. When I exit minicom I can no longer start it again, eventually I get a killed minicom with NULL-dereference A rmmod/modprobe cycle works but the end result is no device node created by udev and udev's path_id helper is stuck. (unable to determine where for now as netconsole causes trouble with netdev polling) I will have a deeper look tomorrow as this evening is already over.
