In general, yes, you can use SLIP [1]. In order to do so, please take a look
at the border router example [2]. In particular, you need to copy the
slip_params.h file into your application folder and add something like this to
your Makefile:

ifeq (,$(SLIP_UART))
# set default (first available UART)
    SLIP_UART="UART_DEV(0)"
endif
ifeq (,$(SLIP_BAUDRATE))
    # set default
   SLIP_BAUDRATE=115200
endif
        
GNRC_NETIF_NUMOF := 2
INCLUDES += -I$(CURDIR)
CFLAGS += -DSLIP_UART=$(SLIP_UART)
CFLAGS += -DSLIP_BAUDRATE=$(SLIP_BAUDRATE)

USEMODULE += gnrc_slip


This will add a SLIP interface that uses the primary UART as a serial port.

However, you might run into problems since this UART is also used for the
shell and I don't know how well multiplexing works on both ends. A common
solution that is, for example, used for our the before mentioned border router
is to add a second USB-to-UART by using an external adapter that can be found
for a low price on ebay [3].

Not that I'm aware of.

That seems strange to me. Is there anything else that tries to access the ACM
device? Maybe some Ubuntu magic? Maybe some of the other Ubuntu (derivate)
users here can help (Hauke, Martine...)?
