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 :-) Yes, I recommend the ftdi devices as well, the specs are availble, and the driver seems to work better because of it.
Yes - i agree. But you have no influence which chip is used when you buy an adapter or interface cable. There are millions out there for mobiles, GPS, PDA, etc. It's a pity when you can't connect your device because the usb serial chip is not supported in Linux. (When you have a newer device you will find out that bluetooth is not working correct also.)
