I believe this may be the first time I've heard of this model. We're certainly 
interested in supporting it. Assuming it uses the very same protocool as the 
serial MDV devices, this should be relatively easy. A difficulty on our part, 
though, is that, at least till now, we don't have access to one of these 
devices in order to do any testing.

Does your device just have a USB port, or does it have a serial port as well?

Could you please post a copy of your /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices file while 
your device is connected? Attaching it to a post to the list would be fine.
