I ignored the fact that it needed a TODO file. I'm not either sure about where should it go since it uses the USB interface but in fact is used as a network device (drivers/net? drivers/usb?).

Should I just add a "From: " email-like header in the patch, in the commit or in the body? I'm not sure how to do it. Regards, -- L.
