Issue to connect with CH340G / CH341 (ESP8266)

I am struggling to connect with an ESP8266. I bought this device: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/32520574 … 194dlCtLGh

It seems to have the CH340G, but when I run the following I get:

$ sudo dmesg | grep tty
...
[ 4915.370493] ch341-uart ttyUSB0: break control not supported, using simulated break
[ 4915.370621] usb 3-2: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0

The first thing that puzzles me is the

ch341-uart

instead of the

ch340

. Besides, I don't know if the

ttyUSB0: break control not supported, using simulated break

is normal.

I posted this question in further detail here, but start to suspect that this might be more related to my configuration more than to the appropriate putty or picocom settings.
