Hi,
2.6.28 kernels (only) have a reference counting bug in ftdi_sio that
frequently renders /dev/ttyUSBn devices useless when they're closed,
fixed only by a reboot. The bug was fixed in 2.6.29 by a9fec7102f.
Please consider applying it to your 2.6.28 kernels.
(Should fix Ubuntu bugs #376128, #397499)

ftdi_sio: fix kref leak
Commit 4a90f09b20f4622dcbff1f0e1e6bae1704f8ad8c added kref stuff to
ftdi_sio, but missed tty_kref_put at one exit point in
ftdi_process_read.
