This seems to be a really nice way...

For my device disabling the cd-drive works very well.. but i got some  
response from a guy that he only gets one tty-device.. maybe this can  
fix this problem...

it also seems the content of the cd-image is not the same on all  
devices.. my (branded) device does not contain any manual, numbers,  
oder something else... only a strange proprietary tool to dial in....

so if i understand right the patch to unusual_devs.h is removed and  
the one to the option-driver remains... seems to be a good solution..  
will test it next week...
