Subject: USB driver "option" proposed patch to support Huawei E353 hardware

Hi,

I am sharing patch to the devices/usb/serial/option.c. This allows operation
of Huawei E353 broadband modem using the “option” driver. The patch simply
adds new constant with proper product ID and an entry to usb_device_id. I
worked on the fresh driver file downloaded from GIT. Tested on Dell inspiron
1764 (i3 core cpu) and brand new Huawei E353 modem, Fedora 15 beta.

Looking at the type of change, i doubt it has potential to introduce
problems in other parts of kernel or the driver itself.

I am not an active kernel developer, thus i would not be joining the list...
for now. If You’d like to reach me, please respond directly.
