Is it because this driver also exposes a cdc-acm class interface? Why is it doing that if it doesn't follow that spec? We do already support a number of "quirks" in the cdc-acm driver, I don't see why we couldn't add a "blacklist this device" one there as well to help you out here if it's needed. thanks, greg k-h
