Plus one. I have a radio modem (TNC-X) that uses an FTDI USB/serial chip
for communications to a PC host. The device connects fine, kicks off
udev, and the module loads ok, but some applications (including the
intended app, Xastir) cannot read from the device under the current
Karmic kernel (2.6.31-14-generic). No errors, no warnings - the data
just never makes it into the application.

I see that there is a kernel package 2.6.31-15-generic in "Karmic
proposed". Please note that the 15 package =does not= contain the fixes
described in the previous post, as it is based on the 2.6.31.4 source,
and exhibits the same problems as from the production kernel. I was able
to start with "15-generic" and compile a one-off of the ftdi_sio module
using the 2.6.31.5 kernel source. This seems to work fine.

So as mentioned above, please either patch the proposed kernel with the
2.6.31.5 code for ftdi_sio, or maybe start over with a new kernel based
on 2.6.31.5.

Thanks.
