OK, so it shouldn't make any difference.  (I did create all those,
and it didn't change anything).

I just copied the bryder_20011111_2.4.15-pre2_ftdi_sio.patch into
my kernel source.  Next step is to compile it and try testing
things.  I've never dived this deep into things before, but that's
the point of linux.  What's the easy way to set CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_DEBUG?

My main purpose is to make hardware work, I don't think anyone else
should need a back port.
