Hello,
 I support 2 products which have the pl2303/pl2303x/pl2303hx chipset(s) in them and they still are working for our customers. I also use one daily at home for serial console access to my sparcs/alphas/sgis/etc and I am happily chugging along with 2.6.22-gentoo-r4 sources on my laptop. So anyway, I just wanted to put in my 2 cents, from what I can tell it seems to work just fine.

 I had some problems with the pl2303 and a single dropped char a while back, and Greg KH offered a solution and was very helpful, which allowed me to fix the issue for our customer and close the case. Thanks Greg! :)

Regards,

Nick

Subject: [linux-usb-devel] pl2303 Q


Greetings;

Here a while back, say about 2.6.18 or so, someone started working on the 
PL2303 driver because it would seem to disconnect for one packet 
occasionally.

The changes completely broke it at one point and I went out and bought a pair 
of FDTI adaptors which have worked rather nicely.

But now I need to put one of those PL2303's back in service and I'd druther 
not find its still broken when I'm due to use it for 2 days straight tracking 
my path across the planet on a long trip using roadnav to record where I've 
been.

Is it back among the living now?  Or is this chipset terminally broken?
