That number is used because it is not a device number of any shipping device. You should not use that device id for your device, as you are not PSC :) > I'd like to have my device > being accepted by any linux box without modifying the usbserial driver (by > adding more device entries) and without giving special parameters to the > module during load time.

Otherwise send me a patch that adds your device ids to the generic driver. > The device database does imho not list any device with this ids as being > compatible with linux. What kind of device is this, anyway? It's a fake device, that must be overridden to actually bind to a device.
