Bug#704242: Driver for PL-2303 HX not working
I will gladly ship you one. Give me address details, and I'll go to the post office to send it.
Personally, I have resolved to abandon the PL2303 chip, and move to FTDI instead. But for the sake of other Linux users who might buy that adapter by mistake, I am willing to donate the hardware to an able kernel hacker :-)
