Hi I am trying to connect a Prolific pl2303 to my raspberry pi 4 running raspberry pi os 64 bit. When I look at dmesg I get the following output: [ 31.714397] cam-dummy-reg: disabling [ 44.046197] usb 1-1.1: USB disconnect, device number 3 [ 47.254348] usb 1-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd [ 47.361386] usb 1-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=067b, idProduct=23a3, bcdDevice= 6.05 [ 47.361402] usb 1-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 47.361407] usb 1-1.1: Product: USB-Serial Controller [ 47.361412] usb 1-1.1: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.
