I can almost guarantee you that your firewall has nothing to do with it.
It is just conincidence that the previous kernel message was from the
firewall.

The issue as I see it is that the serial driver kernel module seems to
not be loading. Are you running any sort of modified / alternative
kernel? Can you post the results of "uname -a" for us?

Also, a "sudo lsusb -v" might be helpful as well.
