Comment 7 for bug 414458

Another simple fix, for those that don't want to change the udev rules (because they might be fixed on the next update) is to use those commands:

sudo rmmod usb-storage
sudo rmmod option
sudo rmmod usbserial
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003

Hope it helps until a more standard update is coming...
