Lots of things have changed since v2.6.32 and not just in the driver

No, that is not normal, but it should not crash the driver if it's a
hardware issue. What is the lsusb -v output of your device (make sure
the ftdi_sio driver isn't loaded when connecting the device).

And what happens if you plug it into a machine running a recent kernel?

Thanks,
Johan
