Well that's pl2303 based. Those are not known to be the most reliable
things around (and some of the comments in the linux driver are not
encouraging either).
For a reliable working USB serial adapter, something based on FTDI tends
to just work. Most are PL2303 based though since it is much cheaper.
And of course they almost never tell you what they are based on.
