Comment 4 for bug 1094138

Are there any modems using a FT2232 chip without a custom USB device ID? I suggested the change on the basis that the chip is commonly used in embedded devices (e.g. http://www.tincantools.com/product.php?productid=16134 and https://www.gumstix.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=262) without the extra eeprom used to set a custom VID/PID but expected (perhaps naively) that modem designers would actually want a unique identifier for their particular device. I certainly understand dropping the patch if there are Modem out there that would be broken by this change.

This is good to hear that the probe will be shorter in future versions and avoiding automatic probing seems like a good change :).
