Well, yes, it looks so... another braindead hardware? :-(

Yes, i added quirk to the end of list and and put a comma to the prior entry.
Anyway, i double checked comiliation logs - no errors.

The last commit to scsi_da.c was a week ago by njl, and looking to it
via cvsweb i don't see difference in quirks (well, by my untrained eyes).

May be i should ask another list/developer?
Was there similar devices, i.e. USB hub+storage in one piece?

Igor
