PROBLEM: USB ACM device does not work

I've got a piece of hardware (this one:
http://masterkit.ru/main/set.php?num=1153) which acts like an USB ACM
device and is handeled by the cdc_acm module. /dev/ttyACM0 does appear
but any attempt to write something to the device with a simple
"echo something >/dev/ttyACM0" fails with "Invalid argument" error.

The reason is that the driver calls usb_submit_urb in acm_start_wb()
but doesn't set interval in the urb structure, so it remains zero and
causes usb_submit_urb to return -EINVAL. Reading from device also does
not work due to the same problem in acm_rx_tasklet().

After setting urb interval to 128, this particular device works fine
for me (though I'm not sure that it's a right solution in general).

Corresponding patch (against 2.6.30) is:
