patch

I have 2 questions I hope someone is able to help me.

I bought a usb/serial adapter based on PL2303X and not PL2303.

1- Do you know of any patches to make the PL2303X detectable and functional?

2- Assuming I got the patch, and before I apply it, I wanted to upgrade my kernel. I found this website http://www.unixmen.com/upgrade-your-kernel-the-safe-way-in-ubuntu-linuxmint/ to teach me to do so.. Is this a good procedure? and to what version you advise me to upgrade?

Thanks.
