PROBLEM: NUDAM (USB-485) nowaday not detected by pl2303 module

[rafa400]

[1.] new NUDAM (USB-485) converter not recogniced by pl2303. Little change
required.
[2.] Until now NUDAM USB to RS-485/422 RS232 converter was detected by USB
system and pl2303 module working fine in my Debian as /dev/ttyUSB0

# dmesg
....
usb 5-1.3: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 17
usb 5-1.3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
pl2303 5-1.3:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
usb 5-1.3: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

# lsusb
Bus 005 Device 017: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port

 They changed USB ID and now its like:

# lsusb
Bus 005 Device 016: ID 0b63:6530 ADLink Technology, Inc.

but this ID is not detected by PD2303 module.
a little change in pl2303 solve the problem

[3.] pl2303 NUDAM USB 485
[4.] Linux version 2.6.24-nudam (2.6.24-4) (root@rp022) (gcc version 4.2.3
20080114 (prerelease) (Debian 4.2.2-7)) #1 SMP Mon Mar 3 12:02:41 CET 2008
[5.] not required
[6.] not required
[7.] not required
[X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:
I made the tribial changes in:

drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c
drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.h

adding de new USB ID 0b63:6530 to the existing arrays as needed
recompile kernel, etc,etc.
and it works fine again.

Please include this in newer versions if it is possible.

Are you sure that the chip is still a pl2303 device?  If so, can you
send us a patch for this device id as per the
Documentation/SubmittingPatches directions?
