They are quite common and supported on Windows, OS X, and Linux.

Looks like this is CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN. There's some weird notes about unredistributable firmware, though: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/KeyspanDriver

this feels like #7326 to me -- there are lots of add-on peripherals we don't currently ship modules for, but which people should be able to use.

Yep, I got burned with one of these Keyspan adapters in the past. Throw it away and send your money to a vendor that's compatible with free software: http://www.toad.com/gnu/sysadmin/#keyspan And complain to Greg@… about how he puts nonfree drivers into the Linux kernel.

(In #7326) this bug is a tracker bug for other more specific requests for modules.
