Does it really load it? Or just skip it, and later load usbserial? Is
usbserial supported in your Linux kernel configuration?

Do you _think_ it sets /dev/acm0, or do you _know_ this? What exactly
are your lofg messages?

You should see something like this on your console:

	Mar 22 11:26:25 larry kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-2, assigned address 47
	Mar 22 11:26:25 larry kernel: Manufacturer: Siemens
	Mar 22 11:26:25 larry kernel: Product: SX1
	Mar 22 11:26:25 larry kernel: SerialNumber: 0800283216ff
	Mar 22 11:26:25 larry kernel: usbserial.c: Generic converter detected
	Mar 22 11:26:25 larry kernel: usbserial.c: Generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs)
	Mar 22 11:26:25 larry /sbin/hotplug: arguments (usb) env (PWD=/etc/hotplug HOSTNAME=larry DEVICE=/proc/bus/usb/001/047 ACTION=add DEBUG=kernel MACHTYPE=i386-redhat-linux-gnu OLDPWD=/ DEVFS=/proc/bus/usb TYPE=2/0/0 SHLVL=1 SHELL=/bin/bash HOSTTYPE=i386 OSTYPE=linux-gnu HOME=/ TERM=dumb PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin PRODUCT=1234/5678/0 _=/usr/bin/env)
	Mar 22 11:26:25 larry /sbin/hotplug: invoke /etc/hotplug/usb.agent
	Mar 22 11:26:26 larry /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Modprobe and setup acm for USB product 1234/5678/0

As you can see, even here I see a "Modprobe and setup acm", but  this
doesn't  matter  -  the  important  part is the "usbserial.c: Generic
converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs)" message.

Best regards,
