Has anyone added tty_hangup to the usb-serial core yet?
Here is a patch you can experiment with. This is for 2.6.9-rc1; it adds calls to tty_hangup on all ports of a usb-serial device that has been disconnected.
Not sure if this is what is needed for ipaq or any other purpose. I experimented with this briefly in a different context, where it turned out it was not needed--otherwise, this has not been tested.
