AFAIR the BU-303 uses a Prolific PL2303 USB-to-serial chip.
Do a "lsmod<enter>", and check if the PL2303 driver is loaded.
If it isn't, do a "modprobe pl2303<enter>" to load the driver.
This should load the usbserial and pl2303 modules, and give you access to the gps via /dev/ttyUSB0.
If you are using the gpsd which comes with the GPSDrive (upto v.2.09) then use the -K parameter when loading gpsd, in order to workaround the problem of keeping the USB serial port open. The gpsd from the GPSDrive package is highly recommended, iso using the standard gpsd v.2.x series deamons.
