Yup, so what was the significance of this requirement after loading the module? I assume it would start working once rebooted so long as the module loaded? Which I am still trying to figure out how :)
possibly the driver as delivered doesn't recognize that specific version of the device, so needs a nudge to handle this specific device ID ?
