[gutsy] keyspan serial drivers missing

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt]

The main keyspan driver is missing from the modules built & installed by ubuntu. The keyspan_pda is there but
not the main keyspan driver which supports most keyspan devices.

The relevant config options are:

USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN for the core driver, and then the firmware blobs:
USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_MPR
USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA28
USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA28X
USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA28XA
USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA28XB
USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA19
USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA18X
USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA19W
USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA19QW
USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA19QI
USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA49W
USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA49WLC

On PowerPC with Ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.20-16-powerpc works but with kernel 2.6.22-14-powerpc does not have the keyspan.ko module and a Keyspan USA-19HS serial/USB dongle no longer works.

The commit appears not to realise that the Keyspan PDA-series of dongles should be handled by keyspan_pda.ko and the Keyspan USA-series of dongles should be handled by keyspan.ko. Disabling keyspan.ko removes all support for the USA-series of Keyspan serial dongles, which are the currently sold models.

In 8.04 alpha 6 x86, my Keyspan USA-19QW works fine and the /boot/config-2.6.24-12-generic reports that all Keyspan models are enabled. This was not the case in 7.10.

Looks like it's fix in Hardy with this change.

Kernel configuration file regression for Keyspan USA-series serial dongles in Gutsy appears to have been fix in Hardy alphas.

[Andy Whitcroft (apw)]

This is not a bug in the linux-meta package, moving to the linux package.

The fix has also been released at this stage.
