I am not aware of such a thing as "drivers" for Ubuntu for any Android
device. Problems with devices on Ubuntu are usually solved by
adjusting your udev rules, though I haven't had to do this in ages,
across a fairly wide range of devices and manufacturers.

For example, this line in, say, 51-android.rules may work:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="413c", MODE="0666"

as seen in:

Don't use Windows, which is the only major development platform that
uses drivers of this nature.
