There is only the cp210x driver now in the latest kernel, older kernels
had the cp2101 driver, but it was renamed to reflect that it supported
more than just the one device type.

Perhaps you are having problems with older kernels and your device, if
you could verify that the latest kernel.org release works properly, it
would be great.
