My distribution update fails into a system without X.
So no new tests with Kernel 3.11 so far.
I looked for a CD booting system with a newer kernel, but there seems to be no one?

* Knoppix Kernel 3.9.6
* Kubuntu Kernel 3.11 maybe a choice

As you can see - you can only dream of a 3.12.5 stable kernel. ;-)

But when Debian Testing will run i make a retest of the PL-2303 HX.
