I just checked to be sure. While the default is to look for USB devices, hw 
isn't in the list of drivers that 4.4 checks for. In other words, you do need 
to specify the driver but shouldn't need to specify the device.

In another message you mentioned having tried the device serial:ttyUSB0. While 
one would expect that to work, it doesn't in this particular case. When an 
ACM-type device is used (as is the case for a Brailliant BI), tghe serial 
device Linux creates is ttyACM0.
