#How to install prolific usb to serial driver for ubuntu Patch#
I found an old patch in Linux kernel module patch for Prolific PL-2303X USB-serial adapter, though it mentions the main kernel tree includes PL-2303X support starting from 2.6.8. Mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 18 was not an MTP device Kernel: usb 1-2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 Kernel: usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc. Kernel: usb 1-2: Product: USB-Serial Controller Kernel: usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Kernel: usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=067b, idProduct=2303 I notice messages "not an MTP device" and "unhandled action 'bind'" in /var/log/syslog: kernel: usb 1-2: new full-speed USB device number 18 using xhci_hcd I believe the adapter has the PL2303X chip instead of PL2303 (source: PL2303 & Pl2303x usb serial device).

I've tried sending/receiving data using moserial and putty when attempting to send commands, no response data is returned and I notice no changes in dmesg or /var/log/syslog. The device appears connected via lsusb, however I cannot send and receive data. I have a USB-Serial adapter with the PL2303X chip to connect hardware to a Linux host.
