It is useful for Ubuntu/Lubuntu users to know that the necessary kernel modules for connection, usbserial.ko and cp210x.ko, are probably already in place but may not be active. They can be activated when required using the Linux "insmod" command. All then works smoothly.

Linux novices may want to consider the modprobe(8) command instead, as it also handles dependencies for mod loading. insmod can only successfully load a module when all the modules depended on are already loaded.

In theory, the module should get loaded automatically by the udev device manager when the device is plugged in.
