2. Verifying that it works
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The first step would be to check /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices, it should look
-like this:

The presence of these three lines (and the Cls= 'comm' and 'data' classes)
is important, it means it's an ACM device. The Driver=acm means the acm
driver is used for the device. If you see only Cls=ff(vend.) then you're out
-of luck, you have a device with vendor specific-interface.

If all this seems to be OK, fire up minicom and set it to talk to the ttyACM
device and try typing 'at'. If it responds with 'OK', then everything is
