The standard linux drivers should work fine. If you have nothing else other than your radio cable plugged into USB then the port you use should be /dev/ttyUSB0. I recomment you check that you are a member of 'dialout' and 'serial' groups. Generally dialout is correct but I have a copy of Ubuntu running on a Chromebook that put the ports in the serial group. Ubuntu 14.10 should be OK but 16.04 is the current LTS release.

I am using Ubuntu 14.10. The last time i used, the cable and my Baofeng radio were working just fine with my Linux box. In the meantime I have had many Linux updates. Well, now when I use Chirp my radio does not stop transmitting and I receive a Chirp message that the radio is not available. I did a counter check with another (Windows XP) machine, and determined that all components were working fine. So, the problem seems to be in Linux somewhere. Permissions were not (unknowingly) altered, ttyusb port is available. what driver version should I be using? Maybe it got damaged during one of these many updattes.

Try not using Windows. No driver problems with Linux.
You must not have read the original post. It goes into much detail about how the attempt to use Ubuntu Linux failed.
