Comment 29 for bug 460857

Hotfix from #7/#8 worked for me

$ uname -a
Linux miki-desktop 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:01:29 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

Using a Smargo Smartreader+.

Before the fix:
$ ./srp_tools_x86
no smartreader found

After the fix:
$ ./srp_tools_x86
smartreader+ version v1.3

MODE autoswitch
FREQ 3.69 Mhz
KERNEL normal
T_MODE t = 0
EGT 0

Forums are full of posts from people who cannot get at ther smartreaders, an I can imagine lots of people think their stuff is broken and are sending them back to sellers by the truckload. Given the bazillions of VIDs/PIDs the ftdi_sio module serves (.lots. of hardware, including PC/SC smartcard authentication stuff!), could someone .please. upgrade the priority of this fix? Many, many thanks in advance!
