I have linked it too, but what do you mean with that?? What's wrong with
VENDOR_ID and PRODUCT_ID?? The driver should recognize those from the cable,
isn't it? And anyways, what does it have to do with wine? I haven't yet been
able to make this thing work, so I'm quite sure it's correct to reopen the bug
to try to solve this strange behaviour. It's not easy to recompile the driver
for someone without great knowledge of Linux, and it gets worse when dealing
with a precompiled & packaged one. Anyways, it seems an interesting comment, if
that's the problem at all.
