Patch for Keyspan USB-serial adapter...

[Randy Zagar]

I'm not sure if you mean the latest 2.4 kernel from kernel.org, or the
latest Fedora Core/1 kernel...  The patch I've posted/forwarded is NEWER
than the one in Fedora's 2.4.22-1.2149.nptl kernel.

Keyspans' latest patch includes changes made in Sep. 2003...
