Comment 199 for bug 446146

Hi,

I tried the "rmmod usb-storage" and "modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003" fix before I tried to install a new kernel, and that did not work. After I could not find any linux2.6.31-15.49.deb (read comment #193) files anywhere (Although I think I just don't know where launchpad.net has hidden them, hehe, and I googled for it aswel), I thought of putting the "rmm...." fix into /etc/rc.local (so that it would do all that during startup) and that worked fine on kernel "2.6.31-14" which I think is under the normal repositories. This fix worked on two laptops (dell and a hp).

I can give a step by step how-to for any relative newby (like me) if someone has the same problem.
