Hi,

There are even _two_ ways for preliminary attempts at adding a new device ID to USB drivers:
quote "You can echo the vendor and device id to the "new_id" file in the /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/cp2102/ directory."
And at least for the ftdi_sio driver (and perhaps some others), there's the product/vendor module parameter (see modinfo ftdi_sio).

Thanks for the report! (and please notify or even write a patch in case the driver actually supports the device, and does so sufficiently successfully)
