First you should build that driver source for a desktop linux and make sure it works with the peripheral. You may need to add vid/pid codes to it, or it might be you have the wrong driver. Figure that out on the desktop first.
Then you should look at the driver source and see where that no more free serial devices message is coming from. You could also return the mid device on the grounds that it contains pirated software - if they are not offering kernel source code they are shipping a linux kernel without a license to do so, which is usually called piracy.
