The FTDI FT232RL is very common, but there are others that Linux supports. I don't know about serial to Ethernet... there are no chips that out of the box do that that I am aware of, though I have not looked closely into it. I think serial to Ethernet tends to be more about picking up a few components (FT232RL or MAX232 chip, Ethernet chip like the ENC28J60, and microcontroller) and building a custom solution.
