> I caught a flu so I did not go into patching yet; however, I just tested the option driver by echoing the vendor and device IDs to the new_id file in sysfs and everything seems to be working correctly, I'm sending this mail with the option driver in use. About maximum speeds I am not yet sure, need to use this for a while. Is it possible that this device is some kind of abomination which can be used with pretty much every driver out there? Also, the vendor ID matches one already in the option driver, LONGCHEER_VENDOR_ID 0x1c9e, which covers quite a lot of smaller brand names.

Does this device need modeswitching?  If it does, would you mind tar-ing
up the fake driver CD before it's modeswitched and sending it to me?  I
can look at the driver and figure out what kind of device it really is.
