Might as well shoot off an email with whatever diagnostic messages you have
and the version of SmartOS you’re running.  While no guarantees someone
will be able to help, it can’t hurt either.

I'm looking for anybody who has experience with multiport Serial to USB
adapters under SmartOS.  I'm attempting to locate a 16 port model that will
work with stock SmartOS, and rather than iterating through every model on
the market, I decided to ask here.

What model works?

I can report that the Startech.com 16 port model attempts to come up, and
it finds 4 of the 16 ports, with non-detection on 5 of the ports, and
failure messages on the last 7, using the usbftdi driver.  In my untrained
eye, it appears that this device is effectively a chain of usb hubs with
ftdi devices hanging off them.  I have this environment right now, and can
provide debugging if there's a desire.

Similar devices with 8 or more ports would also be interesting to me.  16
ports exactly is not a requirement.

I understand that this is probably a more generic Illumos question, however
I'm specifically targeting a SmartOS platform for the rest of the work this
computer is doing.

I find evidence that Solaris had support for quite a few devices including
the Edgeport series, but as per https://www.illumos.org/issues/36 that was
a closed source driver.

Pointers to functional devices greatly appreciated.
