The patch titled usb-serial: secret patch has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was usb-serial-secret-patch.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: usb-serial: secret patch From: Oliver Neukum <oliver@xxxxxxxxxx> > http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8094 > > Summary: ipaq oops on connecting "Vodafone VPA-II" > Kernel Version: 2.6.21-rc1-git1 > Status: NEW > Severity: normal > Owner: greg@xxxxxxxxx > Submitter: web.alexander@xxxxxx Most likely a known bug I caused. This should help. akpm: - it is unknown what this patch does - it _seems_ that it prevents the oops, but that's not clear - The post-2.6.18 regression appears to still be unfixed.
