Steve, $ sudo modprobe agrserial will suffice to load both drivers and create the ports. There is a file /etc/module in which you could add a line: agrserial which would cause agrserial to be loaded during bootup. But I recommend AGAINST it. It some future change in System should cause agrserial to crash the System on boot, YOU would have to use a rescue disk to make changes and your experience level is not that high. If you like, first practice using your Ubuntu install disk as a Rescue disk, until you are confident in capability to thus do an edit in your hard drive Linux partition.
