ttyUSB0 not found | no driver ftdi-sio


Hello,

I have an easymouse 2 USB-serial card reader. It worked perfectly with Openelec 4x. Since the update to Openelec 5x I can't access the easymouse. I see under dev the /ttyUSB0 device but can access it.
When I plug the usb reader off and on I can't see the usb device with dmesg | grep tty.

When I'm using lsusb I can see the device:
Code:
Bus 003 Device 007: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC
When is use the command: usb-devices
I see the following:

Code:
T:  Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=03 Cnt=01 Dev#=  7 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=0403 ProdID=6001 Rev=06.00
S:  Manufacturer=FTDI
S:  Product=FT232R USB UART
S:  SerialNumber=A7031G76
C:  #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=90mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
So there is now driver.

modprobe ftdi_sio.ko gives me
Code:
modprobe: FATAL: Module ftdi_sio.ko not found.
I think I need the ftdi-sio.ko driver. How can I install or activate it?

modprobe ftdi_sio works fine.

I don't know why it didn't load after update from 5.x of openelec.

I added it in autostart via the following command:

echo "modprobe ftdi_sio" >> /storage/.config/autostart.sh
