    still trying to figure out why some USB-serial devices appear on Linux

    Because it depends on whether they are using the standard ACM interface
    as specified in the USB standards, and which is part of a standard USB
    stack, or whether it's a vendor-specific interface (which usually also has documentation that is only fully available under restricted conditions).
