Are you sure it's not already in the kernel ?

Code:

it-etch:~# find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/ | grep pl2303



/lib/modules/2.6.18-6-686/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.ko



it-etch:~# modprobe pl2303

'find /lib/modules -name *2303*'
The reason why there is so little info on the net is because
it has been included in the kernel since 2003-2004.

that's wehat you need to determine.. try using the other command I posted to see what the name of the tty device is..

dmesg | grep tty
