I thought the vendor/product thing wasn't necessary any more. As of 
2.6.21, you can do

modprobe foo_driver
echo 34ca d365 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo_driver/new_id

I tried to figure it out, and wrote it up at 
"http://jk.ufisa.uninett.no/usb/". Not very user friendly, though.

Suggestions for improving my writeup are most welcome, btw.
