Dear Dave,
I have tried to make the changes I have been working on and testing with
your help into a patch as attached.
Please let me know what you think of it.
Kind Regards,
Tony

Description: To make usbnet work with the Belkin F5U258 USB Host to Host
cable,
which contains Prolific PL-25A1 chip, the file plusb.c has been edited to
add the
VID and PID values for that cable.
The changes have been checked using the checkpatch.pl script.
The patch was tested on kernel 2.6.23.14 on Fedora Core 8, and on kernel
2.6.17.14 on Ubuntu Dapper Drake.
