As I mention above, a new driver is needed for this device.  The driver
is in the linux-next tree and will be in the 2.6.30 kernel and is called
qcserial.c.  I've attached it to this message as well, as it's tiny.

As for the "brand name" it's an internal modem in a laptop and has no
"brand name" as it can not be bought on its own as far as I know.

thanks,
