Comment 15 for bug 490068

@Hendy,

It's turn out that recently I have upgrade my kernel to 2.6.31-17-generic. The patched option.ko that I compile myself is for 2.6.31-16-generic. Today I do this:
1. re-patch the option.ko for 2.6.31-17-generic and copy option.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/
2. depmod -a
3. disconnect wvdial
4. rmmod usbserial
5. plug-out the modem from usb port, then plug-in
6. This is the dmesg result:

[15182.472075] usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 14

Thanks for all the help. I hope this will help others too, while the patch find it's way to the next kernel release.
