Apparently:
17:49 <@mithro> tumbleweed: but what happened is that the exar guys effectively forked an in 
                tree kernel driver and made it work with their crappy device
17:50 <@mithro> tumbleweed: shenki then fixed it to work with modern kernels
17:51 <@mithro> tumbleweed: It needs to be rewritten as something that can be merged into the 
                upstream driver.
17:51 <@mithro> (The CDC-ACM driver)
17:52 <@mithro> That is never going to happen as nobody has the time or will power to do it

Less than ideal for the archive, but useful if you want to muck around with
this hardware.
