Hi,
here's a late reply to this excellent input.
I've successfully used your dumpfw.c to extract the proprietary firmware
blobs. Without modifying the driver, i.e. using a standard Debian kernel,
I then used the fxload tool to load my corresponding firmware.
Next I wrote myself a hotplug script to do the job for me, it's
attached. To
reuse it, save the file keyspan (same script name as the driver) as
/etc/hotplug/usb/keyspan. Change the hardcoded firmware name to the
one you want to use. Remember first to extract the FW from the Linux
source package with the dumpfw.c tool.
