Argh, sorry, I misread your email and went off on one.

You will indeed need to "edit iowarrior.ko".  I.e. change the C source 
code to include the new pIDs, recompile, test, get patches merged into 
the mainline kernel etc :).

It's also possible to test new devices with an old driver, i.e. before 
you modify it.  Possible instructions: http://www.ha19.no/usb/
