Hi Marvin,
thank you as usual for your always very kind help.
Please find below the result of my queries:

$ sudo modprobe 8250
FATAL: Module 8250 not found.
I tried $ sudo modprobe 9573 as well, but with no result (always
module not found).
I hope this will help you understanding what the problem can be...
Thank you very much!!!
