Apparently:
17:49 <@mithro> tumbleweed: but what happened is that the exar guys effectively
forked an in
tree kernel driver and made it work with their crappy device
17:50 <@mithro> tumbleweed: shenki then fixed it to work with modern kernels
17:51 <@mithro> tumbleweed: It needs to be rewritten as something that can be
merged into the
upstream driver.
17:51 <@mithro> (The CDC-ACM driver)
17:52 <@mithro> That is never going to happen as nobody has the time or will
power to do it
Less than ideal for the archive, but useful if you want to muck around with
this hardware.
