It was thus said that the Great Gordon JC Pearce once stated:
What drivers? It's a USB-to-Serial adaptor - it should be a
class-compliant device. I have never come across one that actually
needed additional drivers to work in MacOS X or Linux. I haven't tried
one in Windows, but past experience suggests that it needs drivers for
*everything*.
I recently got a USB-to-Serial adaptor (I deal with the routers and
switches at work). Under Windows I had to install a driver. On my Linux
computer (a recent Linux install) it just worked. On my Linux laptop (with
an older Linux install) it didn't.
