The thing is, I just changed the FTDI_SIO_PID to my PID (0xFBFA). I reckon 
this is not a permanent way to have it, so a new PID has to be defined. I 
tried doing this in order to send you a patch against the latest kernel tree, 
but I ran into problems weaving the new PID into the other code, such as the 
device specific settings etc. I guess I was just lucky that the settings for 
the SIO device worked for the 232RL, so I could just just change an already 
existing PID definition instead of weaving in a new one. Or is it so that it 
would be a simple matter to add a new PID? Is it enough just to add it to 
id_table_combined and ftdi_chip_name?
