Well, the first thing is to change the permissions on /dev/ttyUSB0.
You need to edit the /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules and change the
KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", GROUP="uucp", MODE="0660", OPTIONS="last_rule"
line to read "MODE=0666" to permit world read/write operations, then
unplug the dongle and plug it back in.
