I've got a USB to serial adapter that I picked up from Radio

getting
much traction from Red Hat as far as them updating the kernel.
So every
time there's an updated kernel, I have to rebuild the srpm.
Seems like it would be simpler to get an adapter that work with
the current/native pl2303 driver.
For the purpose of serial consoles, these two adapters work for
me under pl2303 without any problems using current/past CentOS5
kernels:
Tripp-Lite U209-000-R:

Cables-To-Go 26886:

Think they cost about US$15 each at provantage.com.
