Michael,
Yes, that's correct. Those two modules would need to be added. I'm saying
it's worth the size of the modules. We'll put it on the list to do. The
Prolific usb/serial device is one of the more popular ones that's
compatible with Linux and it should only add a few hundred kb to the total
build.
