Use a 2.6 kernel release with this driver included in it.  Otherwise you
are going to have to backport the code yourself.

And I would not recommend using this device at all, the vendor will give
you a driver, but it violates the GPL, and as such, makes your version
of Linux unsupportable by anyone.  And, if you redistribute the
resulting image, you too will violate the GPL.

In short, stay away from this manufacturer.  There are many other good
usb to serial chips out there that work very well with linux.

good luck,
