Akhaa!  Thanks.  I guess my list archive and google searches weren't 
thorough enough.

Is there a hardware compatibility list anywhere?  I don't see one on 
pilot-link.org or usbvisor.sourceforge.net...

Akhaa, found something on the new 2.5 driver.  And found the driver 
changes in the 2.5.51-58 patches.  Sounds like I need to try 2.5 (ekh!) 
or try to backport...  There seem to be some USB driver changes, like to 
the usb_serial_device_type struct, not yet clear what's needed for the 
driver and what's just to conform to interface changes...

Is anyone else working on, or thinking about, a backport?  Where is the 
discussion on this?  The list archives on usbvisor.sourceforge.net are 
all closed to non-members -- is that where everything is happening?

Ah, yes.  If this had been an option for the Samsung, I would have tried 
it (store staff didn't seem to think it was).

Oh well.  I'd be happy help in any way with the driver.

Thanks,
