I got it working!  For those who may have the same problem, the solution is
pretty simple.  I simply changed for another adapter.  At first I used an
adapter identified as HL-340.   I tried an adapter from Belkin and it worked
like a charm.  I did not need to load the module pl2303 only the module
garmin_gps is enough.

Thanks to everybody who tried to find a solution.
