After fixing an embarrassingly trivial configuration error, the acm
driver *is* in fact loading correctly...

However, I'm not getting any response using either minicom or "cu".  I
suspect something fairly simple - can someone perhaps point me towards
how to get some more detailed debugging info from this kind of USB
device please?

Relevant bits from /proc/bus/usb/devices

dmesg

Presumably this error -5 is relevant??
