Try to add vendor/product id to serial_cs

Hi List,

Recently i got a Huawei E620 UMTS/HSDPA pcmcia card, which currently
doesn't work with the Linux version i use (2.6.16.16).
Someone else found that with the redmondish software, you could just
install it as a
serial port without special drivers. Because of that, i tried to add
support to the Linux
kernel, and more specifically, the serial_cs module (because it seems
to be the most generic serial port module for pcmcia).
With sysfs i found the vendor and product id (0x12d1, 0x0035), and
tried to add them to the module. So far i've added the following
lines:
PCMCIA_PFC_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(1, 0x12d1, 0x0035),
PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x12d1, 0x0035),
(At lines 709 and 830).
Still the module doesn't get loaded when i insert the card, and if i
load it with modprobe it still doesn't detect the card. Can someone
help me with this ?

(Please be gentle, this are my first tiny steps into the Linux kernel
source :-) )

Best regards,
Wesley
