Comment 12 for bug 111694

install -m 644 cypress_m8.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/cypress_m8.ko

should be...

install -m 644 cypress_m8.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/cypress_m8.ko

atleast, if you want it to work.

Other than that, this fix seems to work just fine. One other caveat. make sure you are NOT using gedit for
tweeking the cypress_m8.c file, use Gvim or vi or geany or some other real editor.

Thanks goes out to SqRt7744 for posting this, it saved me time.
