Hi Johan, No, I don't see any problem to do that. I am testing ti_usb_3410_5052 with support for MOXA 11x0 and almost everything seems fine. Sorry I didn't noticed it before, it would have saved us some time. So, I could post a patch serie : 1. Removing mxu11x0 driver 2. Patching ti_usb_3410_5052 3. Cleaning up ti_usb_3410_5052 the same as we cleaned-up mxu11x0 Btw, no response of TI or MOXA about the double opening stuff. Thank you, Mathieu
