Subject: plusb module support for PL2501

The plusb module appears to be not maintained.

I would like to submit a patch for the PL2501 device;

    > lsusb | grep PL2501
   Bus 001 Device 053: ID 067b:2501 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2501
USB-USB Bridge (USB 2.0)

There have been patches previously submitted for this device but they
have not been applied and I was wondering if there was a technical
reason for the patches not being applied ?

There are comments in the code (drivers/net/usb/plusb.c) but the
associated patch that added the comments did not add support for the
device.

Can I submit a suitable patch for this device ?

Thanks

James
